Attached: 1 image Bueno, pues necesito alternativas a Google maps, porque acabo de decidir hace unos segundos dejar de usarlo después de que me saliera un trayecto con un desvío completamente innecesario que mete dos minutos más porque pasa cerca de una gasolinera que ha patrocinado ese trayecto

Original toot in Spanish says: “OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip.”

    This was a joke on here the other day, people were joking about getting 1 or 2 minutes added to their trip to pass a KFC.

    People were sharing conspiracies on if they do it or not but the original was a joke. Other commenters said they thought they were kept off main roads for VIPs.

    I’m wondering if this was a coincidence or if the two are connected.

    I had never heard of this until now.

      My personal Google Maps conspiracy is that when I need to take a turn, Maps on Android Auto will say “take right at xyz street” (paraphrased) but if there happens to be a Jack In The Box at the intersection, the maps will always call it out – “take a left after the Jack In The Box” (paraphrased).

      I’ve never heard it namedrop any other business like that.

        I’ve never heard mine name drop any business and I use it all the time… I’m in Canada so maybe there’s a difference there?
