@pmtriste @pluralistic Not just that, the actual map data is wrong in a couple of places in my town and I have no idea how to get it corrected (or if I should help Google improve their ultravaluable product). As Google Maps gets used by other services for routefinding, like Doordash, these issues become a problem even if one knows they exist.

Two intersections, instead of going in a particular direction, it'll instead route a right turn, then come back to the intersection from that direction and go the proper way.

In one of these cases, that way is well over an extra mile onto a trip that could be 600 feet; the other, the other, Google's suggested route involves a U-turn, and has been wrong in their data for at least a decade!
