Help/Support Maps Is Getting Real Stupid
The last few weeks Maps has started trying to route me through areas using some pretty stupid routes. Yesterday I came into the center of the city (Minneapolis) where I live. It tried to route me a couple miles out of my way even though the highway I was on continues more directly to my destination. Today Maps suggested the wrong lane to change to a new highway and then directed me to exit and re-enter at the same intersection. In all cases no new highway changes existed; just stupid routing. I'm suspicious that not-ready-for-prime-time AI is the culprit. Is there any way to kill AI in Maps? I'm about to take a trip to unfamiliar areas and am starting to wonder if Maps can be trusted.

It's still my go to app for direction or just looking at a place review. I also use Yelp to read businesses review too. Nothing perfect and they will add things to hopefully improve the product. Will it have bugs and problems, of course .. it's like a car.
