Original toot in Spanish says: “OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip.”

    Anyone seen this? One post from one user with no verification behind it seems like nothing to get upset over.

      I have experienced something really similar. Not a detour, but, well…

      In early 2019 (or maybe late 2018), whenever I used google maps and the route took me over on a certain stretch road, it would announce the location of an Auto Zone regardless of bearing on the route.
      It was just a straight section of road with no confusing areas that needed any clarification. Yet the navigation voice would announce “In a quarter mile, continue past the Auto Zone” followed by “Continue past the Auto Zone on the right.” (Or left.)

      It was so jarring and offensive that I also wanted to stop using Google Maps.

      Nope, but I did move from Waze to Google Maps and now settled on Apple Maps because of increasing enshittification and ad bloat.

        Ah, good choice - instead of waiting for the company to become increasingly enshittified, you went with the already 100% completely shit company.
