I swear that with each update they're adding more and more artificial stupidity
That's Magic Earth Navigation & Maps and the results are that app's fault.
You can tell from both the app icon and it's the exact same Burger King logo it uses (Google Maps uses a different one).
Yup lmao on my phone I got Malaysia as the first result while the others were nearby.
I’ve had this happen to me on Google maps on iOS before
Google Assistant is definitely getting worse and worse all the time. When the Google Homes first released they were actually pretty useful and handy. I was willing to pick a few up and they served a good purpose. They ran CIRCLES around Alexa and all those.
Now many years later, the devices don't hear questions correctly, have to ask them four different times, they can't even pick up my wife's prompt words anymore, don't even give reasonable answers when they do get the question right... It's made hundreds of dollars worth of devices infuriating and useless.
I bought a product that worked. It no longer works because it's been "updated".
The worst part is that they're still way better than Alexa. I hate the Google Home app; I can't use the Alexa app.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this opinion. It's absurd.
No, a lot of people recognize it has gotten worse, but the post is a device that doesn't run off google maps but rather another guidance program so it will end up off topic everywhere
It would have been amusing to see the route trajectory
Everybody's in here complaining but the app just wanted to show its user the rip in space and time it discovered just down the street.
And then you see the route trajectory making you turn into a river to flood your vehicle, or worse, have you turn onto a beach because the route trajectory goes right into the ocean like it thinks you are driving some sort of boat mobile.
Sometimes I really struggle to understand how Google Maps works. I take some time finding the right area I want to search in, center the map in a very specific place, then search for a term or category and then it takes me to a completely different country to show the results.
It was doing this to me yesterday, kind of infuriating.
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself "Well, how did I get here?"
Same as it ever was
You didn't say nearest to what...
It's a GPS device. Why wouldn't the default be closest to your current location?
Because the local one didn't pay as much for placement.
Some guy in Malaysia:
That's the joke.
I like to see Magic Earth being used in the wild. Didn't think anyone else was using it lol.
I’m not sure what it is about car map searches but the suggested locations are always crap. My wife uses CarPlay and I’ll use that or android auto in my car. (So Apple Maps then google maps)
If you type like grocery into either of the maps from the dash then they’ll lose their goddamn minds and recommend some backwoods gas station instead of the local Kroger.
On our phones it’s totally fine but jfc the dash results
What we really need is c/SoftwareGore
Yeah it exists !softwaregore
Edit: I don't know how to do the magic linking thing but https://lemmy.world/c/softwaregore
I tried to see what interesting local variants they have in Malaysia and it honestly looks pretty good by American fast food standards:
I would honestly prefer this over the current state of 38 variants of Whopper where they're just rearranging the toppings.
That crunchy cheese one was a limited time thing here in the states. I had it once. Though I don't remember if it was actually at BK or another fast food place 🤔
I highly recommend it if you don't want to poop for 3 days.
Just do what it says. Drive to Malaysia. But chances are you'll pass a few burger kings on the way.
maybe the others on the way are closed
Do you guys like Burger King? I stopped eating there a long time ago and feel no need to go back after the foot lettuce incident…
TIL that incident
LOL how you can post that on 4chan and think they won't do everything to doxx you 😂
Is that Magic Earth?
I was reading an Apple Maps “best restaurants” guide and it had a button to get Uber Eats from a restaurant listed as 7,900 miles away.
And? Was it worth it? What did you order?
Lillipad Cafe in Sydney, AU. I was going to order a kangaroo burger with deep-fried saltbush, but turns out they're closed :(
Damnit. I hope you get another chance soon
Oh cmon, 9 thousand kilometers is just around the corner there /s
well 9.792 km is a lot than 2,600 km. are you sure you aren’t in malaysia? /s
In my country, for the numbers, the dot and the comma are inverted in usage
9,600 => 9.600 and 2.6 => 2,6 and 9,600.6 => 9.600,6
Seems a nightmare but any software takes care of it since DOS, except on MacOS as apple in their infinite wisdom switched the dot with a comma in the numpad, so each time I type an IP address it comes out as 192,168,1,1 and makes me really mad
I swear it used to be possible to tell the assistant to navigate to the nearest [franchise] and it would understand it. How has it gotten so much worse over time?
