Google removes a controversial feature from Google Maps: Convert calories into desserts

Any incentive to exercise is good, we have no doubts. So much so that in my great battle in favor of procrastination I am having serious problems with the notifications of the Apple Watch. Once the joke is over, we are going to focus on the news, and that is Google has killed in just 24 hours an interesting function that it had decided to add to Google Maps.

When you activate the walking navigation it shows you the number of calories you are going to burn along the way but… what if he turns it into desserts and junk food? The Don´t Be Evil company has tried something like this, but the joke has not lasted too long.

The company is working hard to continue keeping its browser in the elite, although it does not seem that it is much needed, since others such as Apple Maps are still a long way from achieving the information quality levels that Google Maps provides us. Be that as it may, it doesn't hurt that they keep working on perfecting its operation. But when you try too hard sometimes it fails, that has seemed to be what has happened with the new function of Google Maps, a system that not only showed you the calories you burned when programming a navigation, but also turned them into junk food.

In short, it seems to me a funny alternative to really make us see how much time and effort it takes to get rid of such unhealthy food for us. But it seems that the controversy has been served in the usual censorship center: Twitter. Due to numerous complaints from many users who have seen their pride hurt, Google took just 24 hours to remove a feature that it never announced but that I personally liked.
