Not sure if this is good or bad, but I hope they've removed the current Google Maps product owner - their maps have sent me down very dangerous roads (especially in France and Poland) - once it tried to send me up the side of a mountain to get to the back of an Obsevatory - rather than via the front door.

They keep doing UX changes which mess with muscle memory, that already make their product more unsafe - rather than improve the product itself.



Please keep in mind, he didn't send you there personally. The algorithm did. I've experienced this several times my self, very frustrating and sometimes even dangerous. I think it's unavoidable if you take into account that they operate on planet-scale. Not saying that they can't do better, but probably it's not "someone's" fault.
