Google is improving Maps with features including where to find EV charging stations and in-depth visualization.
Google is improving Maps
No they’re not. I use it every single day, and it’s actively getting worse.
-
I mentioned in another post, but pointlessly (AI?) segmenting the same straight road or highway so you think your next turn or exit is way sooner
-
Search: “Carl’s Jr”, wants me to turn around and drive for hours, rather than guiding me to the one 15 min away on my route
-
Connected to Android Auto select “Start” multiple times, nothing ever happens on phone or vehicle screen
-
GPS stops sensing at all for no reason, other apps still work
-
Doesn’t know the names of places I added to Google maps, either in Labeled, Favorites, or Starred places
-
Forgets my custom maps that I refer to every day
-
Voice: “Report hazard on road” Response: “That feature haven’t been implemented yet” Oh yeah? It works in Waze, which you bought years ago!

Some streets incorrect in navigation, despite being correct on the map… Obviously I’m not the only one who doesn’t know how I would even report that, seeing how they’ve been wrong for years…
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…
I personally had only bad experiences with Google maps while traveling abroad. Like it cannot comprehend that im not in brazil anymore and dosen’t know where i am. If I ask for restaurants or grocery recommendations close to me it just gave me global results, like why the fuck are you reccomend me restaurants in England and New York while im on Buenos Aires?
