For years, Google Maps has been a go-to tool for millions worldwide, seamlessly integrated into search results for instant access to directions, locations, and more. But if you’ve noticed something missing recently, you’re not imagining things. Due to European Union regulations, Google has been forced to remove its Maps functionality from its search results, marking a significant shift in how we interact with the tech giant’s ecosystem.

Talk about hyperbole...

Google Maps is over!

No, the integration in the search results when searching the web might be gone, but you can still go to https://maps.google.com/ and find what you need.

This is not a significant shift with how we are interacting with Google, it is a minor change.

Calm down.

I've had Google Maps added as a search option for years. Because I use Qwant for search, and the maps functionality in Qwant sucks.
