I mean this isn’t new. How do you think you can say go to work or go home and have maps take you there.

Seeing this post made me realize I have fallen for this trap already.

It’s less creepy than asking “This is your home address, isn’t it?”

Yeh, not like they can’t work it out.

(That said, they have no idea about my house number because I can’t get them to understand the building I’m in has multiple houses in it…)

Yeah, pretty sure I remember clicking skip on this as many as 5 years ago. Google Maps has asked to store your home address for as long as I can remember.
