Just come back from a road trip using Maps and I was close to smashing my phone to pieces, it was so fucking bad now.

Unreliable guidance, constant wrong turns, permanently thinking I was facing the other direction while walking, even while actually moving

Would be very happy to pay someone else for a decent guidance system but can't seem to find one that actually works!!

That sounds like your phone is on the way out more than Google Maps having an issue, tbh.

I had this before after a system update on my Fairphone 4 completely broke the orientation sensor which in turn made navigation absolutely horrible. It was only fixed months later by another big update.

I dunno, can't figure it out because Komoot works perfectly, accurate to about a metre
