We do a lot of business with Google. They're very large, almost have a monopoly in some areas, and have very deep pockets. Generally, they do as they wish. Difficult to fight an org with that type of market control, legal expertise, and financing.

I figured that was the case. It is unbelieveable how much control they have over the internet. No matter what, this is wrong. I don't know hickok personally (obviously) but from what I have gathered I don't think he would conciously break a rule like that.

if you use the internet, it is awfully hard to not use google! I mean they are so integrated into phones, that if you have a droid you are required to have a gmail account, and if you use apple products all of the default search engines as well as maps all go through google. It would be really really difficult to not use any google products

I believe that they have restored his channel.

I got tired of being a data source for Google, and have switched to DuckDuckGo as my search engine. They do provide similar results and sometimes search discretely on Google. However my data isn't supporting that company any further.

Also Apple maps is not making use of Google maps, if they did it might be a better app. SMH

I think which one's better is highly dependent on "details". Personally, on the few occasions I've compared them, when they aren't the same anyway, the times were within a red light or two of each other and Apple's directions seemed maybe a bit easier to follow.

Google maps does have the distinct advantage of letting you plan multiple stops (A -> B -> C -> D, not just A -> B).

And the distinct advantage of not being as dead wrong as Apple navigation often is....

Might be a regional thing, just about every time I have tried to use Apple Maps it's off a bit. I can't even rely on them to have "what's near me" most of the time. But while driving the truck has built in nav anyway. I get garmin units when using rentals anywhere else as part of the rental agreement.
