Google Maps 4+

In recent months this app has become worthless for getting anywhere. It says that my destination is several hours away when it is really only 20 to 25 minutes away. It at times does not recognize that I am driving on a highway with no exit in sight and it will say to turn on to a street that is off the highway. On city streets it will say to turn where there is a city water control drainage ditch separating me from the street it is saying to turn on to. It will sometimes take me in the opposite direction from my desired destination. It will say to turn on to a street that is blocked by a concrete median. Today it was taking along a route and was saying to continue on to another street, I noticed that I was about to pass through the intersection of the street with the address of my destination. As I drove up to the address of my destination the application was still giving my directions to drive the opposite way. I am removing this app from my iPhone and going back to using MapQuest. At least I will get where my destination is without having to stop to ask directions.

I was given a job offer after attending a company job fair. Mark in HR purposefully and maliciously scheduled processes in my onboarding (i.e., drug screening and physical examination) to take place over 28 hours away which is outside of routine practice. I was kind and polite in raising my concerns about this. I was given false excuses as to why he could not reschedule it for over a month and mocked for my higher education credentials for no reason. I wanted to work here to save for my bar exam and cover living expenses. Before coming to the plant in-person to speak with him about this matter, I called Penny at the company’s headquarters to see if she could help. She neither helped nor investigated the matter. Upon arrival, Mark left me in the lobby while I saw him sitting in his office not doing anything so that he could abuse his authority after the plant closed behind closed doors with no witnesses except for John (i.e., an ally to his discrimination). By merely asking about the rescheduling and having a desire to work, he fabricated a story about me being rude and immediately drafted a letter rescinding the offer instead of merely scheduling me at a location in town like everyone else. Systematic racism (regardless of color)c discrimination, and barriers to entry like this still exist and companies are either unaware or silently consenting to allowing people to do things like this and its sad.

Every time I click on directions from Google, it asks me, do I want smarter and better and faster maps? Of course I do. So I can click a button and go straight to Google maps, an app I already have. Every time I click this tho, it does not bring me to Google maps. I click open maps, and I am brought to the App Store maps. Even tho I have the app. Then I open maps from the App Store and it has erased the directions I need so I have to go back to Google and then just type it in to Google maps myself. I might as well just use the maps app that comes with the phone bc instead of a short cut it takes me here every time. So every time I click for directions Google brings me to the App Store instead of pulling up the directions in the Google maps app. And then when opening the maps app from here it does not have any addresses saved from the google search I started with. Just not as convenient as the maps app already in my phone honestly. It’s actually wildly inconvenient when I’m running late and forget that the short cut will actually slow me down! Maybe this is more an issue with the directions button on Google not working (since it doesn’t take me to the actual Google maps app), but it brought me here so I’m leaving my review here. Every time it brings me here I leave one star.
