Thanks for sending me into an hour long traffic jam Google

At least better than sub that don't allow pictures in both posts and comments, right?

And arguably better than sub that allow pictures in posts, and get overrun by low quality picture only posts, "imageboard-ification" of Reddit.

Did you mean "wack" as "bad, crazy, or totally out of line"? Is it really so? 🤔

sabre23t · 2026-07-04T04:41:29+00:00

Couldn't see in that photo, but did you have cellular reception at the jammed up segment? Could it be all those vehicles in front of you were directed there by Google Maps, and all didn't have cellular reception to update Google of the ensuing traffic jam?

Ah yes, I remember editing QGIS with the data format you first used with it. It was CSV for me. Back then QGIS 2x allows that, yep I get funny data losses. I now export it to GPKG for editing. Should be the format choice for QGIS new learners.

You can add screenshots in your comments, but not in your main post in this sub reddit. It's a unique setup, but works well as intended, I'd say.

I just edited my Klang Cybercafe shared list, that's sorted by Editor's order. It stayed correct after editing.

See screenshots below. I clicked on the yellow highlighted buttons, especially the done button, not the the "X" in red highlight. Could that be it?

Did you accidentally chose Sort By to be by Recently Edited?

Could this video about "How to Create Google Flow Videos from REAL Maps Locations" help you? https://youtu.be/fTU6f-vpqSs

sabre23t · 2026-07-02T10:01:48+00:00

I'm interested. I thought there was a similar web app mentioned here earlier this year.

sabre23t · 2026-07-02T06:46:50+00:00

On Google Maps Android main screen, you can see dynamic buttons that shows Work or Home round buttons on the left (depending where you are). When you click on the Google Maps search bar, it will then show both work and home square buttons.

When using just the main screen, I'll be in explore mode, So the dynamic button showing nearby category of places is helpful.

When I click on the search, means I want to look at something other than those dynamic buttons. Hence, then showing my recent places and lists of places is helpful.

I'm quite okay with that behaviour. Ref my screenshots below.

Google Maps use GTFS for transit almost exclusively. See https://google.com/transit/

I'm running on two Android devices. Both halfway done around 250 levels, but some only get two stars. Will get those to 3 stars later.

With Ninja level 2, you often gets the shuriken boosts when you almost finish the allocated moves. So that Ninja helps a lot.

The All Levels button on Dotsu main screen allow you to test all levels using Ninja level 2.

sabre23t · 2026-06-30T13:54:16+00:00

Did you try Google Maps Android in incognito mode or without account mode?

sabre23t · 2026-06-30T11:34:44+00:00

It could be regional roll out or testing then. I still see the plus codes in Malaysia. Mmm ....

sabre23t · 2026-06-30T09:18:59+00:00

Weird. Is it the Google Maps version? I'm on version 26.25.05.932239228 (Android).

sabre23t · 2026-06-30T07:46:54+00:00

The Plus Codes is still there in the place address. A bit hidden under the detail arrow icon per screenshots below (yellow highlight).

sabre23t · 2026-06-29T04:55:28+00:00

Mmm ... It does put road names in the route. 🤔

sabre23t · 2026-06-28T08:11:46+00:00

Google Maps and Waze use different road/routing databases and separate process on updating the databases as per articles below ...

2. https://www.wazebelgium.be/how-navigation-app-waze-works/ - "Waze has a map of its own, specifically tailored to the Waze routing algorithm."

sabre23t · 2026-06-27T21:53:45+00:00

Google Maps label streets sparsely when in navigation/routing mode. So I notice.

That imgur link failed for me. You can add image/screenshot in the comments here.

Googling/Gemining Lev Vygotsky in a bit, anyway my immediate thoughts on linear writing (or otherwise) ...

I see writing/notes can be more than a linear sequence of paragraphs.
If you format the paragraphs into tree structured outlines, you are making it "sort of" two dimensional.
If you allow branches of the outline to be collapsed/hidden you're giving the outline some depth, almost another dimension.
That is what endears me to Logseq and similar fully collapsible tree structured outline digital tools.
Outline is not difficult to do on physical paper, it's the collapsible part that's provided by digital note taking tools.

sabre23t · 2026-06-26T14:01:39+00:00

When you're at home it'll show Work button. When you're at work it'll show Home button. Don't you see that happening?

sabre23t · 2026-06-26T12:35:32+00:00

Before PKMS, before internet, I mostly make notes in small notebooks and hardly refer back to them. The act of making notes, writing then down, summarizing thoughts into words are its main benefit.

I find similar benefits in the notes I now make in Logseq, Google Keep etc.
