    google maps once tried to send me through a military base. Like, yes this would technically be faster if it wasn’t for the armed guards.

    apple maps hasn’t tried to kill me … yet

      There were almost monthly stories about Apple Maps leading to death and near-death experiences when they came out, not sure about now. Hopefully they got better.

        I use it. It’s definitely gotten better. The traffic and business data isn’t as good as Google’s, but otherwise they’re pretty comparable these days.

      I’ve been sent the wrong way up one way streets (big flaw to not have the fucking direction of traffic marked so that’s also on the city design) and my wife was sent through a quarry once

      Fucking weird part is that the quarry route is a legit road that connects to a shopping center on the other side, so I guess that one is fine?
