I tried it out but TBH it's not a good UI, at least on a desktop browser. There's a sidebar that takes up 20% of the screen that you can't close or collapse, if you click on a business or something, it appears in the left sidebar but then you can't get rid of it, and there are several pop-up floating tiles that you can't close covering the lower part of the map.

More importantly, I can't find a Layers icon or any way to turn on this Surveillance layer or any other layer. No help button to find out how to use it. I searched for their help page separately and there's nothing on it about layers at all. So maybe this only applies to their phone app, which seems like a weird choice.

I think it's great what they're doing with this surveillance layer (if I could find it) and the not renaming stuff, but for now Open Street Map has a much better interface.

Not available on laptop, apparently. Only the mobile version? That's what search said.

A photo at the top of the article shows MapQuest being used on a laptop. If MapQuest's surveillance layer is not available on a laptop, the photo accompanying the article seems rather misleading.

welcome to the resistance.

Ok this is awesome. Good for them! I just wish their map search was as good as Google’s. But I’m willing to use them for navigation anyway.
