I used to use maps. Are you old enough to remember street maps? They were huge; had to be so we could read the street names. Then came the internet, and I printed out directions using Mapquest that sometimes weren't exactly right.
But now I use Waze, Google Maps, and the Apple Maps app. Each meets a different need.
When I am working for Instacart I use the Apple app. I don't like it, because the app doesn't do well in rural areas and one thing you don't want to do in God's country is get lost in a rural area. Especially after dark. Most of those folks living out there are good people, but it only takes one nutjob with a rifle and you in his site. That app also tells me to turn way too soon. But the Instacart app defaults to it, and the other apps act offended when I ask them to fill in, so I go with it.
When I want accuracy, like when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, I go with Google. What I hate about Google is if I'm using Car Play and Car Play stops working because my charger cord isn't an Apple cord, the app stops providing directions. I mean, I spent $10 on a charger at an interstate gas station because I was desperate for directions, and Car Play quit recognizing it within a month. Probably Nissan is getting a kickback from Apple. Really, tech geeks, quit acting like babies and make your shit work well together.
But if I want to know the fastest route and avoid cops, I use Waze. I can choose the voice I want to use with the app too. Right now a cat gives me directions; much nicer than that Apple bitch that tells me to turn on the wrong street or the Google one that gets pissed off and quits in the middle of her shift.
And yeah, I know this was not what you were expecting. But who said I had to play by your rules?
