Is it worth it to put bing maps on the phone? Does installing Edge use
a lot of my limited storage, or other resources?

I've noticed that, while Bing maps do not zoom in as far as google maps,
in some circumstances, sat view is less blurry for the closest zoom you
actually can go to, than is google maps.

But it seems iiuc that there is no app for Bing maps like t here is for
google maps. Isn't that strange?

And it seems, maybe, hard to believe, that you can only get to Bing maps
from Edge. When I'm in a browser on my phone and I google bing maps
first it wants me to log into or crate a MS account and then it offers
to let me install Edge. I avoid Edge on the PC and use Firefox, and on
the phone Use the one that comes with the phone.

Is there a reasons of space or performance that I should not install, or
if I install it, not use Edge unless I want to use a Bing map?

Thanks in advance.
