Disputed borders

I reverted the anecdote about the disputed Thai/Cambodian border. It was not cited. Perhaps more importantly, there are hundreds of border disputes. All mapping companies have to deal with the problem constantly. A less specific description of the problem and how Google deals with it, along with citations, would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strebe (talk • contribs) 18:04, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bold Cleanup

I addressed the excessively long and too many sections.

All of the features and technical specs were fascinating to read about, but their notability needs to be more than a Google owned blog post. I have left the ones that are well cited/fixable and did some tweaking myself. I tried to organize my changes in smaller edits, so that anyone can examine them and undo if any were erroneous.

The History of Google Maps is just bad wrong usage. If a feature was modified in 3 different time periods, I would have to look at 3 different subsections to find it, and also cross reference with the feature list itself. I removed what was poorly cited, and left what I think can fit into existing or new sections. For example Google policy around naming could be a section.

Merge Google Maps Here

The difference between App and Web are smaller now, and both articles discuss controversy when Apple removed GoogleMaps. Shushugah (talk) 15:26, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This makes sense. It seems that other Google products that have an app version don't have their own pages for the app. (See Google Contacts, YouTube, Google Photos, Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, etc). In addition, the Google Maps (app) page seems to be quite a bit shorter than this one. I could be missing something, though. Enscribe (talk) 01:10, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I would not yak shave anything. Currently, the GM App page has only 3 small sections. The lead is rather large, and is not summarized by any content inside article itself, nor does it even have citations. That said,the reception section would fit nicely into controversy/criticism section (which does not exist yet). Shushugah (talk) 17:56, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracy

They are very inaccurate. It's true. Look at Greenland for example. Stop deleting my edits. 78.1.5.61 (talk) 17:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
