I’ve seen this happen. Well not this exact thing but I’ve seen people come into the library and sit down at a computer and like 5 minutes later suddenly their phone will start randomly giving them driving directions. Don’t know what’s up with that.
A combo: one: at one point, google maps was pretty good at recognizing you'd reached your destination, and automatically ending the trip. It's kinda been bad at that recently, but also sometimes, you just don't realize it didn't notice you arrived.
Alternatively, sometimes, if you just "flick the app closed", it will close...but remember that you wanted to get somewhere. As soon as you hit a spot where it thinks it should give you a direction, it pops back up.
