If you use it on your mobile, they have a non logged profile to track you, they keep it also if you uninstall and reinstall the app.
Unfortunately this is the only service i use with google, because where i live there is nothing that gives you real traffic information, radar data, accidents real time updates , warning about a place close time and some authentic reviews for places.
Nothing and no alternative come close to this experience or even 20 percent of it.
I ditched all google stuff long time ago, I uninstalled the google maps app maybe 50 times, but then i keep coming back because of the functional need of it.
Tried Vela Maps? It gets traffic and reviews from Google Maps and maps from OSM.
claude again lol
I suspected that from the speed of development but it works well and it's open source. I have 4 map apps installed and I switch between them all the time.
I dont use android
