I understand it currently only works with Waze. Despite Google owning Waze, I'm not sure if it has been integrated into Google Maps. Here's a story about the challenges of installing beacons in Chicago [1] vs tunnels near Logan Airport in Boston.
My Google Maps still goes a little crazy on Lower Wacker.
Also we need beacons in the loop. All those tall buildings really mess up navigation downtown.
I don't know what Uber did to make their implementation of GPS so terrible. Google maps can definitely have issues at times in Chicago but I rarely see an Uber driver use the built-in mapping. They use Google maps.
Side note on Uber express, if it says northeast corner, it will always be the southwest corner.
It doesn't work with Google Maps. Source: I was using Google maps to get to/from Northwestern Hospital on Lower Wagner today, and the GPS dropped the entire time I was down there.
Yeah, did that. Problem wasn't the initial exit, it was the rapid series of turns after exiting lower Michigan from lower Wacker that was the Problem. Took a few loops around the block before the GPS reacquired. I used to spend a bit of time in the area, but it was always on foot. First time really driving in that area (coming in from West suburbs, normally, I'd take Metra and walk/cab it), and first time to NW hospital (wife needed to see a specialist)
