Is Google Maps getting worse? - eviltoast

My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

    I think it seems that way because it’s trying to promote alternative routes. whether it’s routing around slowdowns, taking a more fuel efficient route, or whatever.

    however this could also be due to the user having different expectations for different trips and not changing the settings.
