I went to a low data plan and learned that Google Maps consumes a vast amount of data (relative to my plan limit), and I download all my maps and had location off. 1 single bus route between two pinned locations was 30Mb. Maps and search could be so simple but they are insanely bloated.
Comment on Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks?

Google Maps is utter crap lately too. It seems to be making up locations, and several times in the past month, it’s taken me to the wrong place. It’s getting almost as bad as Apple Maps

Hey now, Apple Maps is more accurate and provides better directions where I am and has been for years. I only use google to search because Yelp is god awful.

Oh god, yes this too. All the sponsored location spam drives me crazy. I love when I zoom in to a location and it doesn’t ANY of the shops besides STARBUCKS^tm^

Apple Maps is fantastic for navigation, but it doesn’t have enough locations on it. I use Gmaps for searching locations and apple for navigating.

My favorite one recently is constantly telling me to keep straight to remain on a highway like 7 times before I need to actually get off the highway. Glad I turned off the sound a long time ago otherwise I would have lost my fucking mind.

We have express (toll) lanes on some highways around me, and the navigation system loses its damn mind every time. “Keep going straight”, “continue going straight”, “proceed in a trajectory perpendicular to your current trajectory”; I fucking get it!

Perpendicular would actually have you make a 90 degree turn, you are thinking of parallel.
