  • Especially since they started showing advertised businesses to me on the map. I’ve never been to a McDonald’s, Google, and I know you know this about me so stop preferentially showing them when I pan around my map!

    Also please let me filter my search results. When I search “coffee shop” it’d be nice not to have to scroll past all the starbucks and gas stations to find small businesses.

    There were ten months. Notice that September, October, November, and December all start with number prefixes ending at 10?

    Well a few Roman bad boys decided to insert themselves in the middle of the year (July and August) and blew that idea to shit and we’ve never adjusted since.







  • Most annoying thing for me is being unable to filter businesses out of my search results. I cannot tell you how many times I have been looking for coffee shops and had to scroll past dozens of gas stations that sell coffee. It’s also a problem that I can’t filter out fast food or massive chains. Yes Starbucks is a coffee shop, but if I want something small or local I’m shit out of luck on Google maps because they dominate my results.

    This is such a simple feature for a SEARCH ENGINE COMPANY to implement but I’m sure they don’t want to risk upsetting potential ad revenue by allowing users to filter out the advertisers business.
