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? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

So even google maps wants you to go away? _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel

How do you find places you've never been to before then? Do you find it more or less reliable than GPS while driving? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

When walking (and often when driving), I look up directions ahead of time. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel
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.
