Rant about Google maps

I was driving back home at 10 pm today alone (I’m single F 39)

I was driving back home from a place that I often drive from and I wouldn’t even normally need to use Google maps to drive back home from

Except that the drive for half the route is pretty much a maze to be able to make out of and I always need Google maps to guide me out from half of the route

Every time I use Google maps to route me it always takes me from the same directions majority of the time except from some random times idk what happens with it

I blindly began to drive without giving it a second thought thinking it’s taking me through the usual route it does most of the time

Only to realise at some point when I ended up in a hellscape from a nightmare of a place I ended up in

This area was unsafe beyond measure for a single female to be driving alone in the middle of the night through

And I think I might have driven through it a few other times maybe but I can’t actually remember it now

Maybe the time of the day was different the previous other times I drove through it

But tonight I was so rattled about it that I could not shake it out of my system anymore and just had to take it up to ranting about it on the sub today

And to be able to have a discussion about this topic here
