    There are like 3 different routes that make sense for me to get home from work, depending on where there’s traffic

      Ah, here the map data is never that quick. Its tells me there is traffic in an area normally like 2 hours after it is relevant.

        Wow that’s crazy. In the UK Apple Maps and probably others will offer to re-route me mid trip if it finds a faster route. Plus is insanely accurate if I leave home at 06:45 for a 39 mile trip it will say arrive 07:56 and sure enough I’m usually within a few mins.

          There are 2 missing streets (as in they exist and I drive on them often) within a 1/2 block of my house and about half the speed limits in my area are just wrong (causing poor routing in weird ways). I have also had it off by 20 or more min on a few trips (also likely due to the bad speed limits). Other issues like u-turning to your destination (mapquest days flashbacks) due to I think just not having any info on where entrances to parking lots are.

          I literally ignore it when it tries to re route me.
