It's going to be a little sad when Google Maps goes away. It will be much more sad when Google Flights goes away. But I can't think of anything else Google provides that I couldn't get from a bunch of competitors. Well... maybe Google Translate.


In many places I've found both OSM and Here maps to provide higher quality data than Google Maps, actually. So it won't be that bad when (not if, considering it's Google) they stop Google Maps. And DeepL is starting to beat Google Translate on some language pairs, too.

The hardest to replace part is search today.
