  • For the last year (at least for me and people I know) Google Maps has been suggesting batshit insane alternate routes and then conninuously suggesting you turn around and take the already longer route.

    I went on a road trip, it was not uncommon to see it suggest an alternate route with +2 or more hours. Then it would suggest you turn around and follow said route for 30 minutes (with the delay increasing as you drive further away from the alternate).

    There’s something weird with gmaps but it still works. I wonder if its some kind of test to see if people will just blindly follow alternates for some goal of theirs.
