I've noticed some really strange lapses in transit directions as well, though there it might be more directly blamed on the source.

Confusingly, for example, Google thinks it sometimes takes like 20 minutes for the metra electric to go from Van Buren to millennium stations (a distance of perhaps half a mile). What I believe is happening is it's using the departure time of the train from millennium station (it will layover for 15 minutes or so, presumably) as the arrival time.

I do not know whether Maps shares data with the Waymo service, but their pathing has driven me bonkers for awhile now.

Waymo is convinced that it is impossible for a pedestrian to walk from where I live to the east side of my lot (I live in multifamily, 300 units).

Waymo seems to have pedestrian pathing in mind, and will block the app from a walk that is too far away.

The landlady provides custom made pickup areas in the east lot, but Waymo keeps insisting on pickup and dropoff on the west side.

Adding insult to injury, the “set on map” feature of dragging the pin has been broken as well.

So I have to put up with it. I mean, they’re still in “testing phase” but I’ve given them such clear feedback, they are surely aware by now.
