Normally the place you're going to just sends you a pin in Google Maps/Waze. Or you set the closest landmark and then use the descriptive address to self-navigate from there. Or you call the place as you get close and have them guide you in.
I've received multi-minute voice messages & a dozen pictures & a map pin describing how to reach some rural places.
While pins are generally shared over Google Maps, it should not be used for navigation. Waze is much better. For example, if I use Google Maps to navigate me to a friend's house 15 minutes away, Google Maps will have me cross a river to get there which is unnecessary.
- duxup 4y agoThank you.
- smallerfish 4y agoGoogle Maps is utterly bizarre here sometimes. 10 days ago I wanted to drive across the GAM from Heredia (The Ark, wonderful place) during rush hour, and Google Maps sent me on a legit loop off one of the highways through a neighborhood...and when we ended up back at the place we'd branched off from, it wanted to send us around a second time. I pulled over, switched to Waze, and all was much better.
