Just use CoMaps or something else based on OpenStreetMap
Comment on Anyone old enough to have used this before GPS?

I’m thinking about going back to a paper map. Has anyone else had a problem with Google Maps suddenly making insane routing decisions? There are a couple routes I travel often and I check before I leave, mainly for traffic conditions, but have found in the last couple months that Google suggests a completely insane route instead when there isn’t anything to detour around or avoid. It’s almost like routing is now an AI hallucination.

No, it’s routing you along businesses who paid for you to be routed along there. They crank up the monetization of maps.

That happened a couple times to me lately as well.

Check your settings, maybe this option is to blame
