Since when did Google pay attention to implementation bugs?

That may be, but no one here will likely believe you, based on actual user experiences that have been reported here and elsewhere numerous times.


Bullshit. I worked there too. My internal bug reports were completely ignored just as much. Not a single reply.

Google map webapp always resets the unit selection to "automatic" which means miles in the US. It should retain the setting in a cookie at the very least.

I have been sending a bug report to Google yearly since 2012. That's 13 years, including 4 years as a Google employee with the ability to create internal bug reports.

And that's just one of the bug.


Of course it depends on the team, and so on, but the difference in severity between "can't delete a calendar event" and "doesn't remember the value of a toggle" is pretty vast.

FWIW, maps on the web does seem to remember the units setting for me.


The automatic/miles/km selection of the desktop webapp always resets to automatic on load/reload.

You might have tested something else.
