My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

    Google has sent me through toll roads multiple times with avoid toll roads enabled.

    I have a cheap iphone just for apple maps which hasn’t fucked me over … yet

      I am always an “avoid tolls” kind of person. I use Google maps a lot and have never had an issue with this.

      But just the other week, I was coming back from a road trip and it kept trying to make me use a rolled expressway!! Wtf!! I even triple checked my settings. I don’t understand wtf is up with that

      Every time I navigate with Google maps somewhere while someone else going to the same location uses apple maps, they have trouble and I have none whatsoever. It’s pretty consistently that way
