My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

The search results are inconsistent and they started including advertising on the map but I haven't noticed a decline in route finding. Perhaps there were accidents or traffic jams being routed around?
