How Google Remapped the World | WSJ Tech Behind

Thanks for the best report

Somehow all the beautiful map is designed around the Ferry building in SFO :/

Maps use to be domain of Kings and Nobles. Now it is available to anyone with an easy swipe and is accurate to the minute.

We need to appreciate it rather than let authorities add more restriction to it.

Yes, Google gets our data. But, what we get is free navigation and maps for all. Though Google was not the first Navigation/maps platform, it has revolutionized, how we travel.
Hope, they wont start charging for Maps.

If google maps is for the world...why is it that countries are not to scale. The global south is still shrinked to make the global north nations look bigger.
It is not for everyone...if it cannot accomodate everyone and reflect real world data.
It is merely a tool of spreading neo-colonialism and imperialism by feigning aid but exalting Western nations to god like statuses...so that other nations (3rd World) can feel inferior.
Speaking as a Kenyan-African...we need our own maps system or a google maps that also represents our interests.
We have been fooled for long enough...its time to wake up.

Unless you're a Spy or something, ain't nobody care where you've been! 😅

Everybody wants this new city exploration experience, like it would be first time login in the Thunder bluff. This map is just as Nudle Maps, so it's almost known to any first year student. I just thought standing on the stage - ghost busters invented that seismometer with Sean Boswell help and there should be something your municipality owes you so you don't just GTA that car you see through the lenses. There are few possible routes, but taxi is not so popular here to have one more alternative. I remember that update when buildings was rendered in 3D, but not everywhere. You almost forgot how you were planing that route home work since 2006 or 2010 and now I don't see that change to tell everybody - I assume you alright and all the 2023 students have not replaced you in job offers.

I use Google maps almost always.... Thanks google 😊❤

Lol mass surveillance

I won't mind loosing privacy to google specifically because unless we stop using tech we can't avoid google and
anyway , you can't say google is using our data so I won't use google maps or gmail or contacts or photos or any and then go to facebook and instagram doing doom scrolling
rather I respect the innovation they contribute to the world with there mind blowing products
Let's hope they are trying there best to protect our data

Bye bye Garmin and Tom Tom.

First time using goggle map. I was astonished how detailed and reliable it can be.

Maps became my best friend as a New Yorker back in 2011-2012 going to HS and track meets. I saw the slow popularity of using such tool

While I don't agree with Google's privacy practices in general, Maps is the only product I am ok with giving my location and privacy details because it's so helpful and it gives me so much in return. Especially if you move to a new country and you have no idea about places, locations, streets where you need to go. I also try to contribute when Google asks me about locations I've been to or visited. It's made life so much easier and makes me feel like not being lost in a new country.

I literally used Google maps to locate my enemy's shop at computer village

Good video

I think Google map is amazing, i have to say THANK YOU. KEEP UP YOU GREAT INNOVATION.

Best app ever created

Thank to larry page

How goole earth get 1980 image

During 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, terrorists used Google maps to go to their targets (hotels) from the world's busiest railway station.

That's the biggest threat now. How to prevent Google Maps to give the most important information to spies, terrorists and mafia.

0:16 Am I seeing this right?

Is the suction part of the phone holder attached to the center of the car display pannel???

Amazing technology. As a resident in a developing country, I feel helped with Google Maps to travel to new area.

Who's a local guide?

The most useful app ever.

Data may well not be shared or sold - it CAN be subpoenaed or commandeered by authorities

What would I do without google maps

Better maps for cyclists would be helpful

yeah, only problem is the countries in the world where they work horribly.

oh well I guess we are not worthy enough

We can carry Insta360, right? Why do we carry bulky cameras in public?

i'm scared when will SkyNet I'm mean Google become self-aware

Yeah, at least in the USA they're allowed to collect data for anything in public view even if it is private property like Street view instead of someone's house.

I agree with Keegan too and Joel is in fact saying that selfishness is okay. He needs to sit down and have a long talk with Keegan and get Keegan's thoughts about being a father.

I am one of those 150 million...and a level 10 for more than 4 years now.

Would TomTom maps work?

I love to just look at random cities and places on Google Maps. So interesting! Can't believe that it's free.

remember printed mapquests... haha... time flies...

This is so interesting. I can only imagine how complex it is to combine all those sources of information and make them work seamlessly.

Google has more trust in other brand than in market in world.But the negative feedback war by competitors is making the Neche class go for competitors. So solution is develop a collaboration with competitors to develop the open source of the product and than know each others weaknesses and differencate your product better than the competitor. This is secret of such products but the collaboration shouldn't end the open-source whereas should give opportunity to develop independently so that future collaboration version 2 is possible this should be model next gen business strategies. But what happened with Android the world knows such strategies shouldn't be in next gen.

That's reason hiding ur location in times of war is impossible... Free map for everyone...

It's literally the most important technological invention we've done in the past few decades. It's not just software, it's the whole system and the quality of life improvement it offers.

complicated 複雜

Last 12sec.. awesome camera angle and music.. was on repeat

amazing

It’s just sad that if it is true that terravision started it all, watching them not get any credit is heartbreaking

Title should be how TerraVision remapped the world.
