Google Maps

i don't know how an app like this manages to become worse with every update. nearly useless at this point, you're better off with a paper map. Today it routed me to the middle of an interstate, nowhere near an exit, and said I'd arrived at my destination. A few days ago it only offered one route through backroads no matter how many times i tried to hit the alternate route button. I took the highway route i already knew, and unsurprisingly got there in less time and distance. Absolute Trash 0/5 ⭐

I just got the new android update, and notification no longer shows total miles left, nor the time of an arrival, and it doesn't pop up when you're approaching a turn anymore! Please bring it back!! Edit: More than 2 months later, still no fix. I depended on this feature for almost a decade for my work. It impacted my work life a lot.

I work out a map on my laptop because my phone won't let me edit it to the specific roads I want to take, and then my phone changes it anyway? Even if sent directly from the laptop? Also, even if I do set it how I want, sometimes the AI decides to change it while driving because it's "faster and more efficient" and it forces you to click to keep it how you want, but I can't exactly do that while flying down the highway. Like I didn't have my route set a specific way intentionally. Awful app.

The app is unusable. No matter where I'm going it will take me the most backward, long way to get me there. Sometimes even the wrong way altogether. Even right here in town it's has 3 specific streets it dictates you to take no matter where you're going, which are nowhere Near where you're trying to get. There's no way to select a 'shortest' vs 'quickest' route. I've done everything I can. Turned off all the gas saving, toll settings, avoid highways, hob settings, cleared maps cache.

Keep rerouting without notifications. I've had so much anxiety associated with this app that I've cried. Wasted so much gas going in circles, outdated routes, unpaved roads, long routes despite making preferences. Have to run three different apps just to make sure I'm not rerouted. Just use an Atlas. These apps are full of ads and won't allow usage of the Internet to drive as it consumes so much data. Not worth the headache
