Google Maps Achivement!

The graphic shows how massive and widely utilized Google Maps is. I’m not sure how to grasp the distance of 20 billion kilometers. Because the equator is just 40.075 kilometers long, the amount is equivalent to circling the planet half a million times per day! This is massive!

We are part of something truly big!

Cheers

PS: I predict we will be citing this fact over and over. The source is Sundar Pichai’s keynote speech at I/O '23.

Dear @Perko

I included a link to a video from where I got the information. The CEO of Google highlighted the 20 billion km in his talk. Then I used my calculator to divide 2 billion by 40.075 to reach 500 million revolutions! No magic and no special inside knowledge :wink:

This is not something Google shares with us. But sometimes bits of info gets shared.

The latest says we are 150 million local guides. Only a tiny fraction is signed up on Connect.

See this post. There is a 2022 update also.

And the videos celebrating the guiding stars are other sources you may want to watch.

Cheers

Morten
