I still use gmail and drive for work but otherwise I’m never logged into anything google at home. Today when I tried to expand on a restaurant’s hours it wouldn’t let me see them without logging in, although it still worked in incognito. This restaurant screenshot is just a random other example I tried, but for the one I was actually checking google had the correct hours while the official website hasn’t been updated in awhile and had the old ones (website said they’re still open for dinner but they’ve only been doing lunch for a year or so now)
Up here in Canada, most of our dispatch services use google maps within the primary system as the base map layer with an option to launch our system on the software’s own cartography as backup but those maps are fairly out of date for the most part.
Beyond that, we have a provincially run platform that is actually even more up to date than Google Maps (and includes way more info, one good example is it gives us every single transformer and power pole across the province). That software gives us numerous base layer options, including Google Maps, satellite, and OpenStreenMaps. Most operators prefer the OSM base layer but having the option to switch rapidly to compare which is more detailed in a given area is so valuable.
