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.

I suppose search engines should ask you which maps provider you want and then show results based on that.

Google could have done that, but they chose to go this router to inconvenience users, so that they then could blame the EU for this.
