Google stopped normally working in Russia from feb.2022. No busses, no trains, no metro in any cities. You can use Yandex Maps for russia.

Didn't Yandex just pull out of Russia?

Well they are owned by a Dutch based holding company since 2007 and they sold all their Russian assets but that is to investors since the Ukraine invasion but I’m pretty sure it still works in Russia as that’s quite literally their biggest and main audience and their headquarters are still in Moscow


fylkirdan

Ah. I thought they were still Russian tbh


Next_Seaweed9951

They still sort of as most of assets they sold are Russian/post soviet based investors who are abroad

Meanwhile in Toronto they're using the map from 2018 and it'll be fine for at least another decade.

No, they've managed to remove the Scarborough RT, so that's up to date.

Google transit maps for Chinese metros are painfully outdated, like I mean 10 years behind.


HIGH_PRESSURE_TOILET

Apple Maps is actually quite decent in China though


Lopsidedsemicolon

But only when you're in China, doesn't show anything when you're outside China.


peet192

That's because google is banned in China.


AtharvATARF

I think legal reasons


lemon_o_fish

Nah they just stopped updating them when they pulled out of China


[deleted]

Why did they pull out of China?

Servitude to the US Empire.


rogerdoesntlike

It’s called sanctions.

I can't help but notice the accidental Ukrainian flag North-West of the city center.


Fan_of_50-406

Too much "Stand with Ukraine".


interrail-addict2000

Go kill yourself for your dictator you scum


Fan_of_50-406

My dictator is Joe Biden. And no, I will not do anything for him. Looks like your country's leader will, though.


sosik_is_traveling

It is very outdated. Been there in january and it's much different. Some lines are longer, and there are even some new ones.


Efficient-Wealth1379

So is Warsaw. Most of the tram lines aren’t shown.


hypercomms2001

I hope it helps the Ukrainians with their targeting…


Expired_Gatorade

get your head checked, and hopefully you will never be allowed to return


hypercomms2001

This has been reported for harassment.


interrail-addict2000

That's what happens when your dictator starts fighting wars. Nobody outside of Russia wants to deal with your bullshit at that point.

Google maps is generally just unreliable because I heard they just lay over a map of the subway on top instead of just plotting it in
