My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

I just took a trip and the estimated arrival time assumed I would drive 15mph over the limit without stopping the whole way.
I hate that “feature” so much. For a while it has used the speed of other’s phones for your ETA. As in, if everyone is doing 10-15 over the speed limit, you’re expected to go with the flow.
I don’t want a more accurate ETA. I want to arrive when it says I will if I follow all speed limits, and shave off a couple minutes if I am going faster than that.
How come it doesn’t just know whether you tend to speed or not? Doesn’t Google know everything about everyone?
That would be super awesome if navigation apps had profiles.
Like, when I’m driving my car I go the speed of traffic or maybe a little fast.
And when I’m driving my motorhome I go 65mph tops and really slow up hills.
But totally nobody does this. Even the RV Trip Wizard app (built around Here navigation) makes you choose between “I drive XXX speed on average” (ignoring actual speed limits and conditions, just assume constant speed) or just assume normal traffic.
Why can’t they recognize that different drivers drive differently???
Pretty sure it does, actually. If I look up a route and my partner looks up the same route at the same time both from within our house, mine usually has about a 3-5 minute faster eta.
