I could eventually run the other GPS app I couldn’t use the first day. It does all I need except being blocked all the time. This is how Google competes with its competitors. They hope I will be tired and use Google Maps again but it has the opposite effect.
UPDATE 1:
It more or less stopped working again. I might use Google Maps again but by no means it implies this is the app of my choice, far from it.
The most important thing for me is how big companies compete with apps providing similar services.
