This app routinely gives directions by saying head north, south, east, or west on a certain road. It’s still one of the better gps apps, but still way to buggy to trust it If you’re a contractor that has to go in and out of many neighborhoods, it normally recognizes certain entrances while not recognizing others, so it will take you completely around the neighborhood 30 minutes away to the other entrance when you have just passed a perfectly good entrance that has been around forever. It will re rout my whole trip to a significantly slower route if it senses traffic, even if that traffic is close to the end of my trip hours away and will be cleared well before I get to that point. There’s doesn’t seem to be an algorithm that keeps track of the bad traffic times. Not all gas stations show up in searches, it almost seems to favor the expensive gas stations. Only to realize that the faster one ended up not being as simple as they said, and that the slower one (+10 minutes) was only slow because for some reason it had me take side roads completely around it before arriving, when I could have simply turned directly into it from the road I was on, making it a quick trip. Also when I search places, one will say it’s 10 minutes out of the way while the other says only a few. And no it wasn’t a new business, it had been around for years. When I search along the route it will sometimes not come up with any search results, only for me to pass the very thing I searched for prior in my drive. This hasn’t changed in the decade+ I’ve been using the app. Google Maps consistently underestimates travel time when you select “leave by” reminders by a good 15-20%. I know how bad traffic is on certain days and times where I live. 5) poor judge of traffic delays based on historic data. You can get caught up in a 30 minute delay of traffic and there are alternative routes available and it will not offer them. 4) very reluctant to offer alternative routes. Again, not something that you should have to sort out when on the road. You need to back up and re-set “your location” again and then ask for directions to get the original route to reappear. If you have the “correct” route you’ve been following and say halfway there your carplay connection gets interrupted for whatever reason google maps will not display the route you were on, it will offer longer routes. 3) connection interruption with Car Play screws up the routing. STOP IT! Why is this changing? Why do I need to find out my voice commands have been shut off yet again? I don’t need to try to sort this out after I’m on the road. (Boo) 2) each update seems to mute alerts. 1) If you submit a correction to the map (ie no left turn at an intersection), the change is adopted (yay) but then gets changed back to the erroneous display at a later update. It has problems that just don’t seem to be addressed.
