Re:Did Google Maps's "consistency" help it climb to #1 in maps? by alextgordon on Sunday September 05, 2010 @05:13PM (#1665186)
Honestly, I doubt it's got anything to do with it.

The reason Google Maps is #1 is that, at the time, it was far better than anything else. And nobody has offered an equally compelling leap since.

To move masses, you need equally massive advancements in usefulness (also, marketing).
