I only go to the googs for maps.
I go to Apple Maps.
To this day any time I navigate somewhere with Google maps while someone else separately navigates there with apple maps, we end up at different places. More often than not, I'm where we both should've ended up.
Interesting. In my experience, google maps is “too creative” on their routes. They usually send me to some back roads that only make my drive much longer.
I suspect that Google Maps preemptively routes some percentage of drivers through alternate directions in order to ease congestion. (Because if Maps tells you that the obvious route will get you there in thirty minutes and it takes an hour then you're going to be mad at Maps)
Regardless of their route choices, Maps is always solid with ETA for me and it has access to a ton of traffic data.
I can't afford the water damage to the car.
Same.
