They always seem to force alternative routes regardless whether there are any.
I regularly see "alternatives" which are just taking a turn, doing a 180 in a roundabout and reentering the same route as before. Because why wouldn't I just waste 10 mins just for fun?
Except they never display the real alternatives when they DO exist! Often I'll be driving in an area I know well, and there will be a crash or roadwork or something and Google will say "welp, better just add 30 minutes to your 30 minute commute" and I'm like "nah fam there's a whole other road"
I dunno how they can consistently fuck up that bad.
I think a bunch of municipalities got butt hurt at them for routing traffic through their cities. It definitely used to offer way better and more alternatives. Now it's absolute shit and I have to eyeball it all the time to see if there's a better route.
The best alternatives are the ones you find zooming into the map. The software knows it can’t recommend anybody take them because they’ll immediately become slower than the main routes.
Also never seen the roundabout 180
I've never had the roundabout one either. But I do often get ones where I'm on a rural highway and it will give an alternative route to exit the highway, take this long twisting road that dumps me back on the highway ahead of me, adding a needless 40 minutes. Haha.
Oh wow, it only has me exit to save 5(+) minutes. And thank goodness for that if I’m in an unfamiliar place.
Actually had it a couple of times. It has to be a bug but it's been happening for a while now...
We noticed you liked that tree. Would you like to see it again in 45 minutes?
imagine the poor person who does this for you losing their job to ai 😔
I have the opposite problem where I know there are better alternative routes but google refuses to acknowledge them.
I miss the good old days where u could click and drag the line to a route that looked better and see if it actually would work.
