For a while I've been noticing something fishy, google maps will never tell me to use highways, and if I am on a highway it will either tell me to pointlessly get off and back on or get off completely. Also it will switch from a 5 minute route to a 15 minute route pointlessly on short drives. This can cause lateness to work and loss of job, car wrecks, anger/anxiety.
Have any of you other anons noticed this? Is google targeting certain people in a coordinated attempt to ruin our lives or is it just "coincidental" bad technology that just suddenly started happening this year
>Virtue signal about diversity so you can hire cheap labor in the form of streetshitters on worker visas and hysterical cunts that will work at 1/5 of the industry pay rate >Reduce QA to the bare minimum >Angry customers will just bear with it because you bought out/crushed similar services and they're obsessed with their smartphones anyway And now you know how the modern (((tech))) industry works. Google is making money off of this post because I have to do five fucking pick the car puzzles.
Grayson Hughes
You know there is an option to prevent google maps to don't recommend highways ?
Charles Brown
Purely coincidental, fellow human.
Carson Wright
You have to select a route or else it keeps switching to the fastest one which will take you on and off the highway a lot.
Zachary Richardson
Just a coincidence. You are a schizophrenic neo-nazi.
Jaxson Stewart
>Have any of you other anons noticed this? no because i know how to read street signs.
Noah Hill
Holy fuck you people are retarded
Andrew Diaz
Yup. OP doesn't know apks lol
Camden Adams
You have the "don't include highways" setting turned on, bro
Matthew Williams
Turn on highways on google maps, idiot. Also some highways have tolls. Turn on tolls if u wanna pay for it.
Colton Perez
you can change if you want it to give highways or not because some pussies are scared of big fast roads
Jose Martinez
Dont listen to the shills OP But what you are saying is all true
If your google score is low & bad Google will do the following
- Recommend worse porn and often Blacked - Make captchas harder - Recommend false directions on google maps
The only way to make it go up is to post certain keywords
Imagine being so much of a slope-browed negro, fresh off the god damned boat, that you can't or won't look at a map your own damn self and plot out your route before you even get in the god damned car. Thousands of cartographers weep tears in heaven for the fact that their fine and noble profession has been cheapened to the point of what was once a fine man or woman capable of living on their own, is now too simple to orient themselves from a map. I bite my thumb at thee, OP, for thou art the faggot, and thy seed is onions-laced. Get thee behind me, half-twink.
Benjamin Wright
You know there is an option to prevent google maps to don't recommend highways ? THIS! OP is a faggot.
Luke Martin
Tranny "programmers" Get used to it. Decline in quality of software is already visible and been going down for quite a few years now. It's only going to get worse.
Angel Bell
This. Or avoid tolls. Op is gay faggot confirmed
Eli Morales
Are there any alternatives? The other one Waze is literally Israeli.
Angel Ross
Imagine using a meme flag.
Dylan Rogers
Fuck off, I been away a while.
Nathan Jones
Schizo paranoid redneck faggot
Landon Hill
What does that have to do with anything? Just use your Geo flag.
Grayson White
Go back to nerd, it's obviously a conspiracy to keep undesirables off the highway. This is why you use paper maps and learn the roads beforehand OP.
Noah Martinez
Sometimes for fun I spam searches like >FUCK GOOGLE IT IS RUN BY COMMUNIST PEDOPHILES AND TRANNY KIKES and >TECH EXECS SHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR TREASON
Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary so far but I'll keep you posted.
Matthew Hughes
They are used to it
Theres a website that keeps a track of your google score
>Hablogroup You must be at least 18 years of age to post on this site.
Charles Roberts
im older than you kiddo
Luke Russell

I have noticed this aswel, that Google Maps is very bad at directions. It randomly tells me to turn around an all that weird stuff or start using wind directions out of no where.
Landon Gomez
Do you have the avoid highways setting on?
Owen Lewis
AI gangstalking, creepy concept and probably very effective.
>be driving from MN to NY >punch in directions on Google maps >halfway through the trip it decides that rush hour in Chicago would be faster than going around the city on the clear highways >doesn't even tell me, all of a sudden find myself crammed in between all the office drones going to their cubicle hell for the day >FF a week it does the same shit to me on the way back to MN only taking me through Baltimore this time > then gets me lost in the boonies where there's major road construction and more than half the roads are closed
that's when I stopped using live directions from maps, I type in my destination then remember all the roads I have to take to get there. also doesn't seem to tell me I have to turn until I've either started turning already or have passed the street I was supposed to turn on to.
Lucas Williams
Creative and delusional thought. Just algorithm error, though their testing team should start firing Pajeets.
Benjamin Scott
How the fuck can you not get to work without a map?
William Williams
to be fair maps has traffic reports now which are actually pretty accurate
Jack Parker
This, 100%. This can't have enough attention directed to it.
Compare any of the apps/functionality that Google offers today to what they were between 2008 and 2013 or so and the difference is staggering. Maps were amazing on my HTC Incredible and my Galaxy Nexus, and voice-to-text on my Gen 1 Motor was on par with Dragon. Ditto for predictive text on the Android keyboard from 2010-2013 or so. Since 2013-2014 though, it's been a steady decline in quality to the point where predictive text on my Nexus 6 was worthless and maps on my Pixel 2 XL is a buggy piece of garbage that randomly crashes and shuts off. Considering that the system specs of my Nexus 6 or my Pixel 2 make my Incredible or my Galaxy Nexus look like a palmpilot by comparison, that decline in software functionality is fucking inexcusable, and there's no way that Google's new diversity-oriented hiring practices that kicked in around 2013 aren't responsible for the massive drop in Google software quality on the Android platform.
Ian Martinez
ive traveled through CA a few times. the map has told me to do this before because crossing an intersection to get back on the highway is faster than staying on the highway. its retarded but accurate
Asher Lopez
> Accidentally turning on "avoid highways" mode, the post
Aaron Ortiz
never happend to me, maybe you are just gay.
Easton Gray
Yeah, some of maps' tricks are clearly aimed at areas where Google is based, and I notice that they work far better in the Boston area, where they route me past choke points, etc, than they do in the mid-Atlantic, where half the time they just take you through the ghetto while bypassing safer/less shitty roads, which is something that Maps never does up north.
Adrian Ramirez
Will try this thanks user, update- Yea I had highway mode turned off
Camden Davis
Not a coincidence.
This is what happens when you have diversity quotas and hire women and miniorities to code.
Hanlon's razor friend We're not dealing with the Google of 10 years ago. The majority of people working there are incompetent.
James Carter
I have 100% seen this and suspected it myself. Waze routesme directly into traffic almost 100% of the time. When I diverge from their route and take my own obvious shortcuts, the drive time is cut drastically. I compared with a friends phone and our routes were totally different. His changed routes to avoid traffic and accidents while mine kept me on course for delays.
Are they listening to us or watching our posts and making our lives for difficult?
Camden Harris
Gmaps always puts you on streets with businesses you buy shit from. Stop eating fucking Wendy's and this won't happen to you.
Easton Taylor
look at the map and plan your route yourself
Jack Bailey
1. Learn to read a fucking map 2. Buy a road Atlas 3. Throw phone in nearest body of water 4.Profit
Fucking phone zombies...
Evan Mitchell
Gps drift. Remember the gps network is dying. Also, for some reason I've noticed it's way worse in Houston. Don't know why, some kind of magnetic thing??
