Does anyone else find that Google maps points them in the wrong direction when walking?

I don't have this problem when driving, but when walking the blue arrow will often point me in the wrong direction and frequently just jump around. Does anyone else have this problem?

How do you find places you've never been to before then? Do you find it more or less reliable than GPS while driving?

When walking (and often when driving), I look up directions ahead of time.

Not sure what happened to Google Maps in recent years, but some of the suggested driving paths have been inefficient, even circuitous at times. Instead of a simple straight path, it will occasionally suggest a couple of meaningless turns to reach the destination. Thought it was a joke or maybe some sort of experiment.
