Is Google Maps getting worse? (lemmy.world)

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?

Organic Maps and OsmAnd is better.

Does it save route history? Or destinations? That's one feature I like with Google, disregarding any privacy concerns.

I use OsmAnd+ and you can configure it to save a track every time you use navigation. It can also send that track live to self hosted tracking servers. You need to enable the trip recording plugin.
