I consistently will check my commute to work, as there are two roughly equal routes, either of which can be disrupted for a number of reasons. As of a few weeks ago, Google maps has stopped showing my preferred route entirely, trying to put me onto the freeway, or a toll highway 3 miles out of my way. Once I'm about a half mile down my preferred route, Google will stop telling me to take a u-turn and actually update to the faster route, consistently saving 5-10 minutes (like 30% of the trip total). I'm honestly baffled. My faster, preferred route takes less time, but maybe Google is prioritizing routes on freeways over arterial streets? If Google won't show me the fastest routes I don't even feel inclined to use it. Do you have any other recommendations?
