    It’s been on a steady decline for at least 5 years now imo, ever since they introduced “fuel efficient paths” it kept choosing small roads with lots of stopping and starting at intersections instead of the bigger roadways where you can hold a constant speed… how that is more fuel efficient beats me

      I wonder if they just go off speed limits and don’t know or factor in that the stop signs exist

      Geez, I hate it when they route you down those little back roads, where you have to watch for some poorly marked turn every 4 miles. It was exactly one of those stupid country roads where I hit a deer for the only time in my life, thanks to Google. Just put me on a highway, where I can zone out to some Pink Floyd and cruise.

      It can be, if you’re driving a non-ICE car and plan your driving. But still usually not worth it.
