What I want from Google Maps
Raw
maps_wishlist.md

  • When I ask for driving directions to somewhere it should suggest "Shall I direct you to the nearest parking spot from your destination"?

  • When I drive somewhere, I should have advanced options to say that I need to fill gas within the next x miles on the way to my destination.

  • They should have OBD plugins like automatic.com to do this automatically for most cars.

  • Sometimes I arrive at my destination but I miss it and direction exits saying that I arrived but I am lost now since I drove passed the address. It should detect that if I drove past my destination and start auto-rerouting.

  • If I entered a business or restaurant address, it should auto warn if it is closed or closes soon by the time I reach it.

  • Maps should integrate deeply with Google+ latitude locations so I can quickly meet people with whom I share locations

  • Download large offline road maps (minus terrain etc) to phone's SD card e.g. Nokia HERE maps

  • When driving (detect car in motion from GPS), make most parts of the screen less prone to accidental touches. You need to make a gesture on the screen to "unlock" the screen for regular touches.

  • Figure out my frequently visited destination points and suggest to save them for me by an alias.
