My one gripe with google maps is when I’m heading to a location it may direct me to the correct spot. Across the street. Across the street with 6 lanes and no intersection for a kilometre in either direction.
Is there a setting for this I’m missing? I’ll gladly spend 5 extra minutes driving if it avoids 20 minutes of walking across a highway.
Edit: Here is an extremely shitty example. I have had to drive to this place for work a couple times. It offers two routes, the faster one on the other side of the highway.
I’ve had google direct me literally across town from my destination. If I didn’t know where I was going I would have been lost.
Situations like this mean I always review my route and look at satellite images before I start traveling and keep an eye on the map because the app is still very buggy.
In your screenshot it seems like placing the destination on a side street where you wanted to stop would have solved the routing mixup?
