Google Streetview/maps isn't even the best mapping/'streetview' tool at this point. Filled with ads and bugs, some major bugs have been there for 10+ years.

Now I'm curious. What is the better mapping and streetview tool at this point?
reply
For maps there's quite a few, just anything that doesn't have the amount of ads beats it. For Streetview apple lookaround is a better experience if it's mapped well in your area.

I believe Google has been trying to improve their Streetview in coverage as apple has become a concurrent, but it still has the same bugs people have been complaining about for years (like going backward when pressing forward type of bad). If I remember correctly the bugs have been 'closed' or something before just to include it in the same slightly different way.

As someone that just started working on Google Street View, do you links to any of those bugs? Curious to take a look and see what those problems are
reply
Organic Maps for maps

Why would you be grateful? I don't think any of that should be under private control to begin with.

And which public enterprise has undertaken those projects?

Looking at current hot problems, and exemplary of the situation: which public entities have endeavoured to backup the most important channels and videos from YouTube, the current historic video archive?

Why would I be grateful?! Because somebody did create those resources and made them available! And they did to common good (if anybody refused the expression "for" common good).

They said should be under public control, not is under public control.

Double check.
