I used to believe Google could do no wrong, but I've been
sliding down the slippery slope for some time now

Wolf posted a comment about Google Map's new feature "Quest".

Quest now shows up on the regular Google Map default screen,
and there's a "learn more" video clip.

Once again I'm questioning what this company is doing under it's new CEO leadership.

It looks as though Google is time-warp-marketing back to the 1990's
with a plastic hardware devise that has to be hard-wired
to dial-up access to the internet, and graphics that are archaically appalling.
I don't see any really new features beyond the usual Google Maps.

What market (if any) are they targeting ?
