โฒ 286 โผ Is Google Maps getting worse? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by hperrin@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 150 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?

I do some delivery work and that drives me crazy. Otherwise, it's great. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Do you know if either of these incorporate traffic conditions? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) as they are privacy focused and have significantly fewer users, not yet. but, the more users contributing and making requests, the sooner it could be integrated. you can help by being one of those users! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Thanks for the info! permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Does it save route history?
