It’s strange that Niantic is doing this when google has been doing the same thing with its own street map data.

Seems weird to make a competing product when (I thought) they are on good terms.

Google is going to get broken up. To what extent is the question. Companies positioning themselves for the aftermath of the Google break up like this isnt too wierd. Who knows what companies will aquire which Google assets so having your own means to seperate yourself from Google is just playing it safe.
