I uninstalled it when it told me to turn left at the Wendy’s™ instead of a fucking street name. After I missed my turn and got to my destination late, I looked it up and the place it was talking about was visually obscured by another building so I couldn’t have possibly known where to turn. Fuck that noise.

It’s still accurate for directions, but search results and map viewing have gone to shit because of google accepting money to highlight certain businesses - taking up huge chunks of the map with their square icons
