My GPS does dumb stuff all the time though. In the city it will route me on a lot of gambles that don't always work out. And there's something to be said about knowing the quality of a neighborhood. On long distance routes Google will heavily push fuel efficient routes that utilize back roads and even roads that are barely paved. There's an option to avoid highways, but not one to prioritize them. I would much prefer to spend an extra 10 minutes on my 6 hour drive to the beach if that means I can stay on a 4 lane divided highway the entire time.
