When I ask to navigate home, it tries sending me to Home Depot.
I had this happen to me today and I’m done w google maps
Well, this might be something that drives me to Waze (also owned by Google and which may also end up with these). But it's yet another thing that would potentially drive me back to Apple.
Edit: never mind on Waze, I forgot they already do something like this. Although for whatever reason it doesn't seem quite as invasive.
For some reason, this got me imagining an ad causing an unnecessary detour the wrong way on a one way road and cause a head-on collision. which is going to get them hit with a class action lawsuit that could send their line graph all the way down into the ground.
I got rerouted mid-drive yesterday losing me 20 minutes and taking me down some shitty roads.
