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?

Personally, I’ve been seeing way more markers when you zoom in for bigger businesses meaning they are probably going heavy on pay to show.

Not to mention my saved places aren't permanent markers in the map. I'll zoom in, still can't see it. Search for it, oh look, there it is, right where I was zoomed in
