My wife had maps going to find a hiking trail. Hours later we stopped
for lunch at a restaurant in town. I paid cash and we did not use the
phone there but an hour later she got a text from Google asking her to
rate the restaurant.
Wow. That's pretty invasive. I just switched to DuckDuckGo.

It is not the map, it is location services.

That's cool. I didn't know there was such a thing...

I just read this: "DuckDuckGo has a well-established hold on the “private search” market. Its users
are extremely loyal to the private search engine. It is feature rich for a privacy-focused tool,
which not a lot of privacy tools are. It has a sleek and modern feeling design which makes for a
user-friendly experience. All of this is great but it’s still not Google. Google is superior in
almost every way, except that Google tracks you and your searches. However, since DuckDuckGo has
these privacy flaws, it’s just not worth switching from Google."

I suppose I'll just stick with Google.

Bing maps are better. More like the old Google maps that gave time between
stops.
