It's deeply concerning that the only alternative to Google Maps being terrible is to use Google's Waze. The only thing stopping another Inbox situation is the threat of anti-competition law.


What do you mean another Inbox situation?


An alternative UX for gmail that Google killed.


how does anti-competition law apply to that kind of situation though? I think anti-competition law would only apply when they bought waze, so while it may be disadvantageous for users if they discontinue it, I don't think there's anything in anti-competition law stopping them from killing waze now that they own it
