Oh look, google maps readjusted her root after she took it, conspiracy false,

That reminds me of that experiment an artist did, carried a trolley full of phones on a busy road.

Google interpreted it as a traffic jam, so there he is on an empty road… With his trolley of phones

IMO, the conspiracy is far too complicated for an evil conspiracy of… a 5 minute longer route that you can clearly see has a better option on the map *that you are looking at*.

Love this. Would have liked to see her time on the other route with the BPM step system to verify the methodology but still great stuff. 

It’s because there is nowhere to cross the road safely until you go up that far, if you start from the Park avenue side of the road it will take you up it and say like 15-17 minutes. 

She raises a valid point but it’s not a proof of what she claims until she has ruled out Google maps having a issue with inefficient walking route suggestions elsewhere.

And the chance that an Irish dev is let near the operational maps to input things like, dont route walkers through this road is very low. And the people who drive the Google cars for maps don’t get paid enough to live on that road. I just don’t think anyone would bother.

I wish I could keep people from walking up my road.

Tons of shady characters from the next estate over come up my road because it’s a shortcut to the SuperValu.

But they’re not using their phones to map their route. It’s instinctive. They slap on their heavy, black, North Face coats. Make their way up my road. And go stand outside of SuperValu with a Lucozade and make dirty faces at the people walking in.

Like birds coming home to roost in one cluster. These scobie teens come to stand outside the shop and intimidate every mother with a buggy, every bald older man, every innocent civilian who dares to glance at their knock off coats.

She’ll be on the Blindboy podcast next week.

Alt explanation: there are more businesses sponsoring ads on the suggested route.

This seems like a conspiracy, until you realise that it’s simply that Google Maps doesn’t want you to cross the road anywhere but a pedestrian crossing.

They need to be cognisant for example of blind people, or children who use their voice directions, who should never be directed to cross a road away from a marked crossing point. (ie: the red arrow below.) If you start on the other side of the road, it recommends the shortest route.

It just so happens to be in a nice area.

Submit to Google they will review and update. I drove to CircleK as marked as petrol station in Sandyford on fumes.
CircleK was not a petrolstation but a shop. Submitted and they have updated.

Wait until she finds out about the roundabout (with pedestrian crossings) back home that Google maps stubbornly tells you to ignore when you are walking.

Absolutely zero evidence any tech firm employees live in that road. 

Could just as easily be a glitch or error in Google maps software, and frankly that probably more likely.

Did some first person research.

In image top left, if you start on the right side of the road, maps wont let you make an unsafe crossing, so it send you further, to the point where its quicker to keep going the long way.

In image top tight if you start on the left side of the road, it will put you down the rich people street.

If you were walking to the middle of the rich people street as in bottom left, it would send you to the nearest crossing, then all the way back to continue down the rich people street.

An example of this bottom right, is if you want to go to the chinese embassy starting from the red marker, you’d have to go the indian embassy, walk across, the crossing, the walk back the ways up.

As usual with most conspiracies, this isnt a grand inside job that a rich southside tech millionaire is purposefully stopping google maps users from walking across his gate, it’s just google maps following its safety code.

I’m amazed that it hasn’t been pointed out that she is one of the DJs on the 2fm morning show. My kids love their show. Glad to see this doing well.
