I Used Google Maps and Waze for a Two-Hour Drive and the Results Are Not Surprising

I Have Found Google Maps On My iPhone Are Frequently Wrong Both In Mileage And Routings.
Google Has Told Me To Turn The Wrong Way Onto One Way Streets Multiple Times.
I Prefer The Garmin's I Have In Both My Vehicles

Sherry and I like Waze, tells you where cops are! :)

The article provided not a lot of insight. I prefer Google Maps for social responsibility reasons.

What? Google ANYTHING for social responsibility? How can that be? I hear you... lemme esplain...

Waze likes back road shortcuts. It routes extra traffic through residential neighborhoods, which
is bad for those residents. I live on one of those streets that has seen a massive increase in usage in the last 5 years. A residential street in a historic district with idiots racing 40 MPH down the street. I don't like it on my street, why am I going to do it to others?

Additionally, most of those streets are not built for that level of traffic. The increased traffic (and the excessive speed by idiots pursuing a "shortcut") breaks those streets down at a much quicker rate. Those local streets have to be repaired out of city funds, which often are very low on priority for limited budgets in small towns. When I stay on the major roads and the interstate, federal and state tax dollars - which I pay in to - fix those roads. I don't pay city tax dollars to fix the local roads, so adding extra unnecessary wear and tear to them is wrong.

I am a small government, small tax guy. But taxes ARE a necessary evil for some things, roads being one of them. But if I ain't payin' for it, do I have a right to destroy it?

If the interstate is at a standstill or crawl, sure I will still take an alternate route. But cutting through the back roads to save 2 minutes? Not my jam.
