Will the old method of breaking up a company work enough on modern tech companies? Will the 2nd best map software ever catch up in market share?

If they forced them to split Waze off and make it independent again it probably could, it's probably the only non default app I see people use regularly

Oh, did they actually keep Waze? I assumed they bought it to kill it.

Shockingly they kept Waze around. It sounds like they believe the Waze brand is too strong to be worth killing off in favor of maps, but they have been implementing new features into each and cross pollinating between the two
