I feel that's what missing from Google Maps is an analysis of the driving difficulty. Last month I was driving across Europe, where we were driving all day, doing close to 1000km per day. Where there wasn't a direct highway connection, it would quite often suggest going through local roads, which more often than not, had just one lane each way. If there is an option that involves more highway driving for only 5 or 10 minutes more, I'd rather take that, as it's going to require a lot less mental energy to drive along that, than a narrow windey road I've never been along before. Sometimes the alternative routes suggest that, but most of the time I had to just look at the map and figure it out myself, then create a route from A to B via C to see it's only going to add 10 minutes to this 3 hour leg. Toll roads are another fun thing. When driving through France from Switzerland to Normandy, the most direct route would have resulted in close to €50 of toll fees. We ended up driving half an hour more via Belgium (where fuel is cheaper too), on a highway that had no toll fees.
