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?

    It has gotten way worse for me in the past couple of months to the point that organic maps, even without traffic information is the clear winner.

    One of the things I hate the most now is that the driving mode (you see a route and you’re represented by a little arrow) is really zoomed out and does not rotate with you, making it a worse version of a paper map

      For me it rotates the map randomly. It’s not a result of thinking that I’ve turned because my arrow marker stays oriented with the map. But it’ll just rotate the map to random angles at random times.
