Is it too much to ask for a mapping service that doesn&#x27;t try to be smarter than me? I don&#x27;t <i>want</i> &#x27;recommended venues&#x27; or maps that &#x27;get smarter with use&#x27;. I want directions from Point A to Point B (sometimes) or a bird&#x27;s eye view of an area (other times), and that&#x27;s it. I don&#x27;t want to &#x27;be social&#x27; or any of this other claptrap they&#x27;re trying to cram down my throat. Yeesh, I&#x27;m in my thirties and I already feel like a crotchety old man.
