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?

Apparently everyone ITT has had 100 times more trouble with Google maps than I ever have had. Seriously entire categories of problems I've never experienced. Google maps has never tried to make me drive through a yard or field for example. Been using it since before it was a smartphone app.

Did someone complain about that? Iโ€™m seeing tons of complains and none of them are this

Yeah ITT I saw someone say it tried to take them through a field and a barn, and someone else said someone's yard. I thought it was weird.
