I've been hearing androiders tell me "oh, it's good now. you just had an old phone" for years. And every time I use an android device it's still a slow stuttery mess.

if they havent used an ios device lately they have no idea what theyre talking about, though i will say the pixel 2 is the closest google has gotten to 'oh this works.'

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
i use maps for things. it basically works. there's probably a lot of cases where it doesn't, but they don't seem to affect me.

i think the only time i've been annoyed by it is if it randomly decides an address i'm searching for is 7000 miles away in some other state rather than the city i'm currently in

evidently it directed one of my union clients to a nonexistant detour in the middle of the candian wilderness on their way to ottawa. they wound up on an unpaved road with no signs, lights, or cell service in the middle of winter.

as far as i'm concerned it's their fault for following gps directions in the first place.
