Traffic feature saves me
Update: I’ve been a long time google user and have always relied on google maps but now I’m disappointed with this latest version.
The new "feature" which gives me no option but to see a (probably highly inaccurate) average calorie burn estimate when I want to walk somewhere is incredibly dangerous to those suffering from eating disorders/disordered eating, and underage users who are more vulnerable.
Whoever thought it was a good idea clearly wasnt thinking that they could be harming a significant portion of the population and putting so many people at risk.
Probably highly inaccurate at best, capable of contributing to someones death at worst.
This is not a helpful feature.
PLEASE:
- Consider removing it now that youve been made aware its putting vulnerable people at risk
- If you must keep it, have it as an option that the user must elect to turn on in a menu, not as default
