yeah google doing this made me stop using it as much. still need to find a permanent alternative
Google does it so much I’ve had trouble finding favorite places because they’d rather show an ad that overlaps it.
I'm still using Google for looking up places but I stopped using it for car navigation because holy shit it sucks ass. Using waze now and it's so much better. No idea of they're FOSS tho
Waze and Google use the same data for traffic, obstructions and routing. They are both owned by Alphabet. I have no idea why you think Waze is better
