Ohh I meant driving or walking point A to B, it works
Yeah it ain’t gonna tell you where the new hot food joint is at. It ain’t replacing that use case for google maps, maybe one day we can crowd source that too

Replacing any sort of review system is going to be really hard because they’re subject to manipulation from bad actors.
Yeah internet do be like that.
Likely why they aren’t even trying which is fair.
Use web2.0 slop for that lol
