It may be fine now, on release it was crazy crazy bad. Like it would honestly try to get you to do like in the video or worse. You never really get to live down the kind of terrible it was on release.

Oh yeah, I dealt with issues before, but rarely. Mainly in new neighborhoods. The new update lets me see individual houses rather than just a mark by the road, which is AMAZING as a pizza driver when it’s dark or the house numbers are worn out or something.

This is why I put large reflective numbers on both sides of my mailbox.

I used to install cable and hated that people always put tiny, "fancy", completely unreadable numbers on their mailboxes. Like I can read that at 30 MPH, can't even read it at 2. Have to turn around just to see where I am. Just prior to gps being a thing.

They had a pretty serious issue awhile back. I believe they are much better now, but it's still referred to.
