It is because uber doesn't have your real location. It is the same problem that I have. I have no way to know what is the current address for uber. Before I was able to select my location in the same way how now we are able to select destination. Like this it was easier and faster. We need to remember what is the meaning of accessibility. Accessibility means easy access. A lot of people believe that if someone after days of efforts is able to use an app, or a web page. It means that that web page is accessible. No, while an app is difficult to be use, it means that the level of inaccessibility is higher. Now we have to type or current location, and when we are in winter, with gloves and covering our face, it is no easy to type any address. These are the steps back that the uber has done.

In fact, last night, the driver said that my pin showed up inside the building, not sure if it was the correct one, as it was one on the wrong street, even with the right address put in. The other not fun part was that the four minute ETA seemed to go on for about 15-20 minutes, as I believe they're trying to do things more like the taxis in accepting the next trip while the previous one is going, and me and the previous passenger were on opposite sides of town, where it might actually take that long. I was about to cancel and try again after a certain time, when the eta finally started steadily going down, so I didn't do that. I wish it would give the time when we requested, so we could know when 5 minutes late after that first ETA is when we can then cancel fee free for that. I just thought he was sitting around at first going in circles somewhere across town. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Thompson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2016 12:35 PM Subject: Re: issues with uber update There are a few things about the most recent Uber update that I don't like. But for the most part, I have figured out ways to work around a couple of my issues. I'm definitely annoyed with the fact that it no longer tells you what your current location is. So often, the GPS pan can be a few addresses, or blocks off. Therefore, I just wind up typing in my location, which is something that I did most of the time before the update anyway. I haven't done so yet, but I'm planning to write to Uber to voice my concerns about this most recent update.
