Quality of app programming has declined – Google Maps Review

It use to be a valuable GPS tool, and it outperformed Apple’s maps. But over the last twelve months or so, it suffers in its ability to perform as it once did. - many 180 degree flips when progressing along your route. At one point it showed my car driving backwards for a long while before it fixed itself. - many awkward routes to my destinations. I can often use common sense to reduce time significantly or save myself time by avoiding a left turn at a busy uncontrolled intersection suggested by Google Maps. And no, I don’t have avoid tolls or highways activated. - difficult to turn off satellite view once activated - it asks inappropriate questions during navigation like “May Google Maps have access to your microphone?” Seems to be intentional so most users select OK to dismiss the question obscuring the view. - hangs more often now. I switched back to Apple Maps. Less useful, but it works well and consistently.
