This is Apple Maps.
Apple Maps doesn’t just recommend the fastest routes, it also appears to push the most popular routes as alternatives.
Here is the San Francisco area to LA in iOS 18. The longer route might seem insane if you’re not familiar with the drive, but that longer route is much prettier, and a lot of people intentionally drive in the coastal road for the views.
Edit: Weird. Lemmy isn’t loading the picture for me. All in all, this is a map of I5 to LA vs the Hyw 101 to LA. I5 is 2 hours faster, but it’s a long brown valley, it smells like cow shit, and you’re bombarded with homemade MAGA signs for several hours. It’s a drive of hate, farts, and truck stop food. 101 longer, but it’s recommended for redwoods forests and cute little beach towns.
California is ridiculous. I’m from San Francisco, was visiting LA and someone asked me where I lived. I pointed to 101 and said, turn left on that road and keep going for 8 hours.
Edit: sorry, “the 101”. When in Rome, etc
CA’s a long boi
Fewer turns but one more Bend.
User: “Please give me the three fastest routes, with each answer weighted by different criteria”
Computer: “Okay, here you go.”
User: “Two of these are slower than the third, you stupid piece of shit, I hate you.”
Can they add an option to show roads with more twist for us riding a motorbike? I’d love to road trip without having to look too closely at the map for nice roads.
If you use Waze instead, they actually have a setting you can toggle for roads that are more twisty. In my experience it works great!
I had no idea. That’s so great!
Might wanna ask them about that directly. I certainly won’t be able to answer that question.
Why not OP? I’m not paying you to slack off!
No, you’re not paying me at all, that’s the problem.
and with an attitude like that, I’m gonna cut pay in half from now on. What kind of customer service is that?
You ending up in Chico or red bluff?
Yes
Also, stolen meme.
Why is the title “Thanks, Google”? Isn’t that Apple Maps?
Because thanks Obama!
