Citymapper might be better than Google Maps. It just came to 17 more cities.

Citymapper has long been one of the best mobile navigation apps. Some, including myself, would say it's even better than Google Maps. Now it's available to more people in the United States.

The Google Maps alternative for iOS and Android announced Monday it launched navigation support for 17 more cities in the U.S. These include Pittsburgh, Dallas, Miami, the Twin Cities, and several more. You can find the full list of supported cities here

This is noteworthy because prior to Monday's update, only eight cities or regions in the entire country had access to the app, which I think offers a better navigation experience than Google Maps.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
