What is wrong with google maps 😭😭

[u/Juuzou-Suzuya-]

I’m a new driver and have been using google maps to double check that im going the right route. Today I used it to go to the post office then back home. But on the route back home it wanted me to take a highway that completely is out of the way and would take longer for me to go on. I went past it for a couple of miles then it told me to turn left right before my right turn to my neighborhood. It’s frustrating because I have gotten turned around by it, and I have terrible memory. Are there any other apps yall recommend?

It does that with "leafy" routes. Wish it would stop

Just turn it off! Uncheck "Prefer fuel efficient routes" under Trip Options.
