maps won't get killed but most of the changes they've made to it over the past few years have been for the worse and I don't see that trend stopping

I feel like designating a particular route is going to be next on the chopping block. it already fails most of the time because two minutes into a trip Maps updates traffic data or thinks you overshot a turn and recalculates the route to whatever it thinks is fastest.

which invariably includes something stupid like avoiding a light with a protected turn phase in favor of cutting through a neighborhood to save 10 seconds followed by waiting five minutes for traffic to clear enough to turn left across three lanes of major road.

I just use apple music, I add the radio playlists which change often to library and my phone keeps them downloaded and updated, or whatever music I add from apple music will sync up to my phone and be available to listened offline.

I believe you can do that with regular music as well in itunes or itunes match, it works pretty well

you can designate a route by driving your car that way and the computer will figure it out, it's not like OnStar lol

I'm aware of the alternatives but in picasa,which I use to organize photos anyway, you click one button and it syncs a photo or album. very convenient

Because you have a ton of space there and it's easy to just dump it all there and make your albums/whatever as a subset.

The "archive" button makes it a lot like Inbox -- all my new photos are there (and searchable) by default, I put a few into various shared or personal albums, delete some others, and then archive all the ones I've "processed" so they're off the new page.

I don't want to just throw every drat photo I take up in the goog cloud. I appreciated the granularity picasa allowed as opposed to syncing my entire pics folder. anyway I use onedrive for backup, goog photos is just a convenient way to share with my family

Y'all watch the Google io 'duplex' vid where they trained a bot to talk on the phone with customer service? it sounds pretty convincingly human. Not perfect, but close enough that most people probably won't notice the difference if they aren't actively trying.
