It's not for comparing, compass points direction, Google maps shows traffic concentration.

Google map provides more than coordinates and you clearly did not read the piece.

If you read and understand the piece or the features of Google map, you will noticed that coordinates were not disabled because ‘turn by turn’ directions still works.

Google map just like most modern driving App e.g. Waze also provides real time data based on AI feedback to enable drivers route around real time congestions ahead.

Therefore Ukraine Soldiers and people fleeing provide data points that feeds the Google map AI bot, which then mark those positions as high traffic spots in real time….if the Russias are using this Google map feature, they will know where the concentration of Ukraine Soldiers are, the route people are fleeing through, etc this is the feature that was disabled. @ Investigative zigzagluv

One thing that people don't understand here and you people never thought of is that, did google just woke up and decided to disconnect Google map in Ukraine? Nigerians with the way we reasons sometimes. Yes, Russia may not need it to get there way in Ukraine but google map must have been disable cause they realised that the numbers of persons using it at this time in Ukraine is high and could have been traced to the invaders. When u look right always try look left also and not just thinking in one direction. One way traffic and that is how most Nigerians reason

You obviously did not read the article very well, the issue is not coordinate but feedback mechanism that sends information back with respect to position and movement of the enemies. Coordinate can tell direct but can't tell what is happening at your destination while google map has the ability to tell what is happening at your destination with respect to the traffic and roads condition.

The fact that people can believe this would affect the Russians, tells me exactly how you guys were fooled to vote buhari. So Russia with her numerous satellites and actually the leading country in space technology, would rely on Google map for moving around Ukraine? Sad.

The United States owns and controls the GPS system and they could deny access to it at any time by disabling non-encrypted signals that are used by non-military users. As far as other countries' systems such as GLONASS, they could simply jam signals from the satellites in limited geographic areas. That is what google did.

It is now very difficult to invade another country and not suffer massive loss because you will technically be fighting against several other countries too. The west don't want to repeat the same mistake that made Hitler think he can invade other countries and take over the entire world.

Your explanation was what I understood from the piece but I guess a lot of people just ran with the headline.

One needs to confirm though if other GPS based maps like Waze have disabled this feature like Google did. If not, it is could just be an exercise in futility.

Russia have several satellite they could use in seeing real time image of what is happening in ukraine. It would be stupid for any military to use or rely on tools from it opponent during a war. Most of this technology that this companies use militaries have had those capabilities along time ago although hidden from public and there a lot they have that are secret.

Read and understand first. If you don't, read it again this time slowly. It wasn't about direction which compass can give you but the information about where you are going. Are there people there ready to ambush? How large is the build up and so forth.
Compass can't get you such info

Nigerians won't ceased to surprise you. "The good old compass" you said. Do they also have updated routes and the rest. Every same human are standing up against bullies. Frustrated Nigerians are supporting it and you wonder why they won't have a sick leadership

Sick Nigerians don't see anything bad in bullying because despite their screwing them daily, they still sing their praises. Soon, God will librate the sane Nigerians and will deal heavily with the foolish ones
