For years, Google Maps has been a go-to tool for millions worldwide, seamlessly integrated into search results for instant access to directions, locations, and more. But if you’ve noticed something missing recently, you’re not imagining things. Due to European Union regulations, Google has been forced to remove its Maps functionality from its search results, marking a significant shift in how we interact with the tech giant’s ecosystem.

how is it over? you just type in maps.google.com like you used to type in mapquest.con

But I still type in maps.google.com already because I don't use Google search. But I still use maps.

Google maps is the best True dat. Double true.

Used to be, Waze is consistently better at producing faster routes now at least in the UK. I keep meaning to try out others like organic though.

Waze is owned by Google now so it basically is maps now just with a different skin and some better features.

Has been owned by Google for quite some time now, but traffic or accidents reported by users in Waze still take quite some time to show up on Google maps.
