raw ramblings via SpeechTexter:
Check check okay here’s a rant on how difficult or perhaps the more positive how can it be made easier to have Google Maps allow you to make a map for a trip at shareable and invitable not just the easy get directions type map which is pretty impressive in Google Maps which is using a feature called Google’s my maps so start off at Google Maps and I have to go down to London kit from my mom and Larry we’re going to make wine and so almost always right there but I can get it and Mom and Larry and say favorites now this isn’t Google Maps so I can I can make a you know directions from my location or probably better to do directions from home and Etc but and this is cool except it’s missing shareability other than you can you know you can share it this way I want to make a map that can have multiple other places on it multiple stops and I want to rearrange them and then it’s it’s called My Maps where is it I’m better than that Uncle Buck’s is not recording so now while I so pick this up at now there’s right here we have how I do a home to my mom place and then would do it back and probably added destination like smoke maybe now we have lots of stuff where it’s not zamzam that’s the one that doesn’t work yes I think that one there and of course I believe it saved but I’m back up and I’ll rather than that it’s that I have a destination other way I can search let’s see if it says I specifically put a note in there saved want to go that’s why I’m at the right list try oh you want to go sale I need to pick up a note I could add that on Hangout no try that again mom and Larry directions home at a destination say All Electronics added destination promise I don’t know how to Market what the hell was up late last night I got to try to remember cuz I can’t go in search for it thank you it’s only all their new browser window not google.com trying to remember the name of the place but I know what’s in my saved Toronto it’s not there about reasons no I know it’s in your Summers it’s not idea stop please definitely not good oh Lord I read my f* directions go I had started directions they’re gone now okay that’s okay now these are cotton on the lists for reasons once again I’ve lost my humble test trucks place that visited that’s not bad Ariana of course not zamzam I f* don’t want to go to zamzam oh my God there it is Eleanor has lavash bread look at that and can’t search that though can I but I spell it wrong l a v a s h it was right there I mean but nope can’t search the note so any Alice pick this so we now know where it is or back to our directions cuz hope we have to start over again so are you home on The Wire I’m going to stop there first and then I’ll then we’ll see mom’s place and so home but there go to Mom’s which sadly doesn’t have Mom’s because it’s still now it’s details that’s pretty cool now but there’s a better way of course you can send the phone share it by something I don’t know whatever I want to use the I remember we’ve already done all that now I want to switch to open my maps my maps allows you to do things like have a main map and copy maps and I do more so I take my sex Ontario map which is populated with everything but I’m not sure why I’m not seeing everything it’s all let’s start with this we will then do a copy the map this is the classic method start with the Larry wine kit I got to use different format because I already have a copy this but I’m just right now so now I’ve got a map I’ll get rid of this one now I don’t need any of this stuff on but I now want to do the exact same thing that I just did and now here’s where it starts to get a little bit embarrassing because at this point I have all I want over here but I cannot it’s even though this is Google Maps and this is my maps feature of Google maps I mean this is Google Maps this is Google Maps it’s all Google Maps but now how do I do this so I want to say first off here you do at a later I’ll send them title we can use this one here so now I got to do search for the things so one way I could do it is I mean this is awful but I can copy paste and you can’t these are totally separate things you can possibly there’s no way to get the information over here it’s in Google maps to this Google Maps thing on this side so it’s been one thing nope got to do it separately so there it is click it and I add it to the map all those important questions heard it again got her pendant I want to add to map this layer doesn’t that when I pay a slanted map good to do this unless I had it wrong selection so now what can I do here I don’t know of course this should be you know it’s over here but even there’s not right save done now the one place now I got to do this one let’s say I wanted to say all talk to paste actually you can probably I bet. I want to go to was that market now oh crap I don’t want to say again man I can find it over here somehow I just I just found it a second ago drag and drop search except the one yeah right around the corner from there’s some smoking right there so put that add to the map no please want to go and now I can then do whatever you want to do now I need you directions oh man directions to here so this is where I can’t remember how you do this oh your directions to here okay so from a how do we driving oh we got the home in here so 35 I feel Ontario boom got that okay I see these are places these are destinations now can I take them from here but then on there what would that be something so let’s go straight to Mom drag it down here no no I just Nation no no no if I say directions down the wires and directions no it’s a separate maybe from here I can drag it up there and no get rid of that I have a destination okay then we have destination online so back to home on sandstone another thing on 35 spring tribute so done it’s actually this is you should be called places and this should be called directions now not bad Steel it shows up my answer he has a better way to release that’s my point well my point is is unreasonably difficult to change the order of these works that’s kind of nice so there there oh yeah where’s the options to not take the borrow seven I’m taking the photos not taking the photos and never going to drag it all there don’t know where the options are for that there should be something that says no no no I don’t want that I don’t want that don’t want that all the boat ramps so nothing oh yeah we do like so basically this is a separate another way to do it add some features you can’t get elsewhere it shares definitely let me share it on drive so it’s just myself black Joan glad what’s her name Catherine or wanting kits visit mom and Larry The Bash bread send so that’s a lot of interesting results when you make a will you make it but on my side hope you print them out so here you can have my paper but that’s that’s fine it’s not something greatest you should probably delete all these cuz I don’t really needs on my main it’s just kind of fun this was actually all the ramps I could find that were just even Marine Railways and stuff forward one day I was crank around on the edge of the for all across the lake Ontario North Side looking for where could you land a boat if you had to and the official ones a couple ones with you screwed them I don’t need the directions get rid of them and then finally will be left with just oh yeah that won’t work I don’t know why that’s there I’m kind of fish service on so this would be a nice nice base map or okay well so this product works really good but at the same time it doesn’t integrate whatsoever with the other vertical maps and I don’t know maybe I should change this and go into I just start doing it all and maybe Google Earth I don’t know so anyhow end of this rant I’m not sure if it is somebody but probably should send it to Google and say hey this should be a lot better and it’s great
