Anyone else having problems with Google maps telling them to take a higher traffic route when a better route is available. I drive a lot and keep the maps on for traffic updates, last year or so I feel that Google maps intentionally gives me bad directions. Anyone else seeing this or is it time to take my meds?

I was driving home from Manhattan one night and decided to let Google maps lead the way even though I knew where to go. The fuckers led me right into a DUI checkpoint.

They put DUI checkpoints where a lot of people drive. It probably just put you on a popular route.

Follow up, do you think this is being done on purpose? Intentionally to fuck with undesirable people?

I don't think it was intentional but who knows. It was a lesson in trusting the GPS. They make you do dumb shit. I had one lead me into a landfill once before.
