I know Kagi is generally well received, but I'd like to know what you all think about the maps implementation.

It looks like it uses Apple maps, which I don't like, but at least it's not google...

How do you all feel about it?

[–] sab@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not the best, and quite clearly not a priority of the project yet. I'd say map integration is a little bit worse than in DuckDuckGo, which is already not as good as Google. If this is important to you it's probably too early to jump on Kagi.

On the positive side I didn't realize this before just now when checking it out in order to answer your question, so it hasn't bothered me much. Usually when I need address information I go straight to the service I see best fit.

I'd love to see Kagi make an effort to push OSM though, but that's probably not exactly on top of their priorities.

That's what I needed to know, thanks for your input. The map integration is very important to me, as I depend on it for work.

I'll be keeping my eye on this project.

...information I go straight to the service I see best fit.

What do you mean by that?

[–] sab@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately, it often means going straight to maps.google.com or the Google Maps app - it's the main Google service I still haven't gotten rid off in my life. If I need something a bit more simple I'll check Open Street Maps, either through a desktop app or Organic Maps on my phone. If I need hiking trails Organic Maps is clearly superior to Google Maps, so then there's no real question.
