Any good ones?
I say this because I just got back from a 2k+ mile road trip with the family, and we had some awful experiences using nav apps. To start off, the nav in Guerrera's new 2023 Honda CRV (a Garmin product, I think) sucks. Several times it let us astray, including saying "You have arrived at your destination" while going 65 down the interstate. It would be comically bad if not for the fact that Guerrera depends on her nav system when she has to drive in the 'hood for her job. The map looks outdated (2021?), but the Honda website says the car is "too new" for a full update. Couple that with the fact that it just seems to not be precise, as if it wasn't calibrated.
That's problem one.
While on the road trip, we tried to use Google Maps on our (Android) phones as a back-up. However, we've noticed several times over the last few months that Google Maps navigation resulted in some pretty crappy results, like running me into a hour-long traffic jam in Chicago that had clearly been there a while.
In frustration, I also put Waze on my phone, because I had heard it was better. It seemed better (other than all the emoji's people seem to poop out on the roads, which just clutters things), but Waze also resulted in a some wonky routes.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe the tech just isn't there yet. All of these systems seem to need a "Are you sure?" button or a "No, that's not it, try again" button.
I think they try to be predictive based on traffic, but there doesn't seem to be an "easiest" option along with the "fastest" and "most fuel efficient" option. For example, if the interstate has some traffic, but it's only a five-minute delay, do you really need to route me off the highway into the 'hood in order to gain five minutes.
Any suggestions?
