>Google tries to send me on wild boondoggles literally all the time. It sends me off highway in an attempt to avoid traffic
Same happened to me several years ago, I stopped using Google maps. It tries to hyper optimise the journey-- in one case, there was some traffic on the highway so it took me thru the city. The problem was-- even with traffic the highway was still moving at 40mph. In the city, I was at 10mph and a red light every 5 minutes.
And at one point, it tried to save me literally 5 feet by taking me through a truck parking lane-- that is not only dangerous but probabbly illegal as well. I dumped google for Apple Maps, havent looked back since
