      I was waiting to hear more about this after that question, but sadly, their research was severely lacking on this one. It appears that significant portions of content for the topic came from third party sources this time. Did they even bother to contact Google at all?

    I've been using Waze for a few years now. Although it really is an awesome GPS, sometimes it likes to pick a route that really takes you on an adventure, especially on road trips. Last year I was driving home from college in Michigan to New Jersey through Canada. As soon as we passed through Buffalo, it took me off the highway and through a network of country roads in western NY. Sure it added an hour onto my trip, but the views of the rolling hills were absolutely beautiful.

    Tennessee has actually used this at state level. It's TDOT SmartWay and features road conditions for all interstates and major cities, and includes things like construction and all, but also allows the user to view live traffic cams and flooded roads and events that are going on around town. If you're ever here in TN and need to know why I-40 is suddenly at a standstill, I highly recommend looging on (it's a webpage, not an app).

    I can verify that they log your trips.Google always shows me places that I've visited before, regardless of whether or not I use GPS to get there. After a week at my new job it started telling me what route to take and time to leave to make it there on time, and I didn't ONCE use the GPS to get there. They also email me reports about the new places that I've visited each month, as if I didn't already know that.

      @MarioManTV 7 років тому +48

      naufalap many phones these days can acquire significantly less accurate GPS data for a minimal battery draw. It's often used by apps that apps want to retrieve your location in the background, such as Google Maps and Waze. The high accuracy GPS readouts can be reserved for more important cases, like realtime navigation while the app is open.

    • @Sassquatch0
      @Sassquatch0 7 років тому +40

      If battery is an issue, stop buying Apple.

    • @SurajThapar
      @SurajThapar 7 років тому +51

      These days, GPS data isn't necessary to track your location. As Linus mentioned, Location Services gather data from the nearest Network Towers and pin point your location. Google also began gathering location information from the nearby WiFi Hotspots. Malicious apps can still track you down even if you turn off the location services.
      So next time, put your phone on Airplane Mode when you've to stay in stealth mode.

  • @BossInvader1
    @BossInvader1 7 років тому +1

    Waze is great, when you travel 20+ miles a day one way for worksites in the Portland Oregon area, it cuts off significant amounts of time by routing me through random neighborhoods and backroads that are empty. As opposed to sitting in a traffic jam, it will warn me ahead of time that traffic has slowed down and to take the next exit or turn at the traffic signal to avoid it, etc. To choose between: Google knows where I drive VS. Getting home/work in half the time.... I'll choose the quicker time.

  • @paulanderegg5536
    @paulanderegg5536 7 років тому +4

    I have always found it interesting that Google Maps Navigation ETA's are never accurate, unless you are part of a herd or swarm. If you drive the speed limit on the highway at 7AM, your ETA will continue to increase, unless you speed up to 15-20MPH, or whatever unit of speed Canadians use, over the speed limit, which is what Google is seeing as the actual point A to point B times. :)

    • @kenbob1071
      @kenbob1071 3 місяці тому

      Google maps is totally inaccurate. All they do is assume everyone drives an average of 65 mph, never hits traffic, never hits construction. Bogus. Also, they don't account for normal rest stops on long trips. I usually take the total trip mileage and divide by 50 to get a more accurate estimation for trips over 200-300 miles.

  • @foxrumor
    @foxrumor 7 років тому +1

    Google does keep a location history of everywhere you've been since you owned an android phone. It actually is available for you to view on Google timeline. Look it up. It's actually pretty useful if you want to know where you where on a certain day. I often use it to see how long I was at a place for work.

  • @popeefrog4358

    Actually, there is a section on the Google maps app called "timeline" that keeps all the data stored on it. So I discovered it by accident about a year ago. And it had trips I took from years and years ago. Including where we stopped to eat. So yes Google does store where you're going on it's servers as I was able to access it with every new phone I bought. You can opt out of the timeline... But I'm assuming it just doesn't tell you where you went. But keeps it on record regardless

      Apple Maps was pretty bad when it launched in 2012 along with iOS 6. But since then (especially since iOS 10 and even 11) it has improved so much that you can totally use it just like you would use Waze or Google Maps, and you wouldn't notice a difference.

    I always wondered this. I evacuated to Kentucky when Irma was coming. Google maps not only was spot on every single time, but it was also with pinpoint accuracy. I kinda thought to myself that maybe Google was using your GPS technology to determine everyones speed in a given distance and if below a certain threshold, it deems it a congested area.

    I was traveling in China, and of course Google is blocked there, my location, data and everything was off.

I just want to say that if you have anything google installed, good luck staying out of their radar!

The timeline is useful, I can review where I've been and work out better routes for going to certain places. Best of all the live traffic updates which again is useful in my job. Like I said it's just a tool and a very good one too.

    Google maps is great, it lacks the features of wave, but it's far clearer at giving up and coming junctions etc.
    I use g maps mostly, but if I got to an e entrance like football, where a big portion of 50k people are using Google maps, even the re routes end in jams. I've found Nokias Here Maps perfect for this situation as it offers some of the most bizarre routes, which for busy occasions is great.
    Also I'd your teaching overseas Here maps makes a great fall back opinions (or even primary) as you can download whole countries before you leave the house.
    So they all have their usages. Apple maps may have come along way, but the way it offers the driver info just plain sucks.

    0:05 in quebec you can listen to a radio in every region, just listen to it and in 5 minutes you'll know where there's slow downs because of construction or even snow storms.
    YOU CANT USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING! THE RADIO YOU CAN! Altough mapping directions BEFORE YOU LEAVE and listenning to your phone while it speaks like a derpy GPS does work...

    It totally does. In fact, it keeps a timeline of all your movements daily. They don't even hide it! You can find it on Google Maps under Your Timeline

    Driving through my wife’s home town, Google Maps indicated there was heavy traffic on the main street. There were zero cars on the street when we drove through. However, there were about 50 people hanging out at the corner bar. So, even if it is just a bunch of people close to a street google will count it as traffic. Interesting.

    I don't think it's any more complicated than sampling position over time. The delta in position is distance, dividing by the delta in time gives speed, feed that up (possibly somehow anonymized) through Google Services which is constantly running in the background, and samples along a route which are going farther per unit of time are not congested, and those which don't go as far per same unit of time are.

    Google GPS: "There has been 5 accidents, construction, 5 lane freeway narrowed down to 1 lane, the bridge has collapsed, a baby is being delivered in the middle of the road, traffic grinding halt for 7 hours, but you're still on the fastest route...'

    Linus. Google DOES keep all your location data. Go into Google maps app and view your timeline! It can tell you everywhere you have been, what time you were there and how fast you got there.

    You missed mentioning the MAIN way Google Maps knows traffic conditions; Your smartphone sends Google a signal with your location every 2 secs, even when your GPS is turned off. It says this on the Terms and Services that you click "Agree" with each Google update on your Android phone.
