It shouldn't be up to people to have to spend time and money to correct Google's errors, and to stop Google inconviencing them. Somehow, it has become completely accepted for Google/FB/et al to make profits while shifting costs and externalities onto society.
Why do we allow these tech giants to treat us so disgracefully?
Do you even remember what it was like trying to find your way around a foreign city before google maps? They mapped the world and provided it as a service for free.
I do. I remember adding a lot of buffer time just in case I wouldn't be able to find my way. It is much more convenient now with G-Maps and other providers. I also remember how expensive the maps for the early navigation systems were and how bad they were.
