How Does Google Maps Work?

There's a lot more to Google Maps than meets the eye! Since Google's aim is to provide in-depth information about nearly every public place on Earth, how do they keep such a data-heavy operation running?

Jodi Malikan Yes he's usually presenting techlinked for LMG but apparently now techquicky aswell. He also works for another non tech channel (forgot the channel name but it is about food) and he has his own channel where he made a pretty cool video about videogames but he doesn't really get around to making the second episode I guess.

Very good video! I've always wondered how Google Maps got so smart that it can even tell you which lane you are supposed to be on... Only thing left to explain is where Google Maps gets the public transit data from. I think it's freaking incredible how they know every single bus stop even on small islands like e.g. Malta...
So glad you guys gave this kid a job

Hell yeah, love to see Riley more than just Tech Linked. I was a Riley (and sometimes Jack) fan on Net Linked.
Riley, Techquickie? What has the world come to.
Riley on anything other than Techlinked...this is truly monumental.
The bit at 4:17 about demographic data is actually shown in Korea's Kakao Maps. You get not only the M/F breakdown in percentage, but also a breakdown of every age group (20s, 30s, etc.) which is a little bit much. But it is a thing.
I'm happy you said The Monks correctly, but you are part of a country that the French language is a big deal, so I'm not too surprised. Thanks, Riley. Good to hear your sweet sweet voice again!
this needs more "James yelling random stuff in the background"!
It's cool to see Riley in another setting, one a little more formal than TechLinked. I like the variety of hosts on this channel. Keep it up LMG!

1. The aquisition of Riley was one of the smartest moves Linus has ever made. 2. What if you had to pay money to use Google Maps? People would riot. But Google could make so much more money. Imagine a $12 a year subscription to Google Maps.
Thank God they share the information.
Very clear and well-spoken!
So weird seeing Riley be TechQuickie sane compared to TechLinked funny
Google is honestly such a cool company.
More of this guy please!
Google Maps is one of the most amazing technologies in this world !
3:39 And oh shit, that's home! I've walked the entire north-south of that map. And El Farolito is the best. It's open until 2 or 3 on Friday and Saturday nights and it's a block away from 16th st BART station. Always poppin ' on weekend nights.
I came to this video expecting to have to stop mid way through when I couldn't take this guys usual vocal affectations, i was pleasantly surprised when it was kept to a tolerable level. i am sure you are now very excited to have my online approval for the free product.

Loved Riley doing this. I love you Riley keep up the great work. I believe it’s 100% you running the show
i wish binge watching tech quickie counted as an education
Google, a formless Lovecraftian horror from beyond the veil of time and space
I was hoping you would go into the algorithms and methods used for turn by turn navigation etc... How the best routes are determined. Time versus distance. Also interesting would be to tell us how Google Maps gets accurate live traffic flow information.

Google is both my greatest dream and my greatest fear, they know everything about everyone and use it to improve our lives - but like the events of the book Feed, we can't let this data fall into the wrong hands. All we can do is hope that google still sticks to their original slogan, *"Don't be evil."* because they sure as heck knew what they were getting into.
1:55 "To prevent wrong directions like sending you down the wrong direction in a one way street. " That's exactly what Google told me to do twice in the past year 😑
I was looking for house google maps show results...example maps search for food so near by results but pushed search this area while zoomed in alot can offer more results that were originally hidden. ..can some please explain how that works?

m94h Google knows where a WiFi is located, so if you are connected to one it knows where you are. Also all you sensors in your smartphone can track where you go accurate enough. Than you just need to put the path you took on some kind of starting point and you know where the person is going

Paul Wesley yeah I know, but when I'm not using WiFi... I won't just accept all the conditions they have, I also turn off customized ads and all that stuff... Although I guess that they store it all anyway, and what it makes is only hiding it to the user to make it look as if they aren't storing that data

Up until about a year ago they were still using your GPS to monitor where you were even if you had it turned off... Even now you'll never know for sure if anything you've selected as off is truly off unless you open your phone up and physically remove the hardware, so it's best to either not worry about it too much or go full paranoia and ditch the phone entirely.

You don't need to be connected to the wi-fi, Google only has to detect a wi-fi point for it to know your location (combining with multiple points for better accuracy).

Can't Maps just track you with cellular reception data?
I don't think you would watch any anime at work, Riley. Then again, in the school year that just ended, I watched 3 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist during school after my math EOC on the computer and no one cared, so I turned it up and watched the beach episode of Darling in the FranXX during my health class and no one cared. Mainly because most couldn't see it, and those that did see it were too busy to even bother.
Keys on techquickie on a Tuesday
They also use ReCaptcha to teach the "machine learning" parts to better recognize useful data in images. So you are not only proving you are not a robot, you are also helping robots replace us.
This was so informative. Thank you, Techquickie.
Had this playing in the background and switched back only to realize it wasn't Linus
That last point is interesting, like I was driving in a new road Google map doesn't show it but it kept adding it behind me while am using the app
GDI Jon! Don't give the doujins scene any more weird ideas!
I love this guy, clear explanation...
dudeee imagine how much work went into that since like whole world has google maps...

I'm a big fan of Waze. On top of the map alerts, I really do feel it finds the best route in real time and has the most accurate ETAs. Of course, this is just based on my own anecdotal observations, but it works for me. The ONLY thing that I wish Waze had was the specific lane information that Google Maps uses when you need to make a turn or take a ramp. Spotify integration is a huge plus as well.

Hayden De Sarem Not true. The map data for Google Maps and Waze are separate. Google may import data from Waze from time to time, but their map data is indeed sourced and stored separately. Trust me, I'm a Waze map editor.

Google is amazing. I don't care how much of a privacy freak you are you have to admit Google is doing some amazing things with all of this data.
Which north is being used by google true north or magnetic north?
How are they able to track you so when when you download a offline map and use it completely offline?
They also aggregate results from captcha to identify signs, roads, storefronts, bridges, etc
Welcome to Techquicke, Riley.
RILEY!? THIS ISN'T TechLinked! Put on your carbon nanotubes and go back where I can... only joking 🤣 Love seeing you in every video Riley Tech Tips!
Wow Manhattan, KS! That’s my college town. A great place that I will miss forever!
Work is the best time to watch it.
Waiting for this video for so long!!!
Des Moines and Iowa city is where I live! What made you choose to use that exit as a reference for this video?!
The better question to ask is "Why does Google Maps want me to take 3 lefts to make a right?"
With GPS
Great video!
RILEY!!!
Happy to see you *Riley* 😘
Riley is a good fit for techquickie. More please!
My boss tried to say I was late for work. I showed him my google maps location data and he shut up.
1:59 that truck in the left lane is definitely being towed. I mean it has to be being towed. That's how that photo happened. I refuse to consider alternative explanations for my own psychological wellbeing.
Didn't realise Riley was doing tech quickie too! Ahhhhhh Central Phark!
I found out one day that you can sign up for something that Google is doing where you can write reviews of the places you visited and provide pictures, all of that stuff so you can help people using Google maps to find these places and read your review. There are, of course, rules you must follow if you sign up. I think one is that you should be active if you sign up or they may take you off of this program. There are benefits too that you can read up on. They aren't too specific about what you can get. I didn't sign up since I can't drive (by my self). I can sign up since I'm 18. Like I've said and will always say, everyone, especially owning any tech which it's hard not too, works for Google and we aren't paid too. About the driving thing, the state I live in, you can drive around 16 I think, and get a license at 18. You don't need a permit but you need your parent in the car. I know this was random but I find it a bit weird. Some places you'll need a permit but not in my town.
Nice one 😍
What about traffic data - where the Google Maps app on your phone is constantly reporting the speeds you're travelling about, so it can work out where the traffic is...
How does it know about traffic delays/accidents?
Okay, but when it gives you your time estimate is it factoring in driving above the speed limit or does it just use the legal speeds?
The 3D imagery is actually constructed from photos taken from a plane, projected onto a depth map created by software analyzing those photos, but not satellite imagery.
That final sentence was really good 10/10
I was expecting this video to explain the algorithms because it blows my mind that this thing works
Can you make videos on the internet? Like how it came to be. How it works? Various other things about it
This man is awesome. Make him the host of Techquickie and even LTT !!!
