Anyone else have this happen to them? I choose a route and as im driving, Apple Maps will give alternate routes that take much longer.

You’re getting routes that are often used by people making that drive. From your location is at least use that slight detour down 287 and forget about passing through Dallas.
The alternative slower route is scenic route to Dallas. Great to take if you’re in a nice car and want to make some stops along the way. The other is the plain boring 45 north everyone takes.
Apple Maps is horrible for navigating in the EU. I wish it was better so I could drop other apps.
Doesn’t google do the same thing? It shows different routes that take longer, it’s a normal feature.
That’s actually the way I go up through college station
It’s probably poorly executed ML, where that alternate route has consistently been a good alternate route, but is not in this case, but this is recommending it anyway
It surprises me so much that people actually use Apple maps to drive anywhere.
While not as in depth as Google. It’s actually not that bad if you just wanna go point A to B. If you are planning stops or wanting in depth about things on the route etc Google is still the best.
they really gotta drop Yelp
Apple maps has always sucked. No matter what the fanboys keep whining about, Google is so fucking far ahead. I’m not sure how Apple maps taps TomTom considering how much better even Sygic is.
Half the time when I come back from work the stupid thing shoves me straight into traffic while Waze takes aggressive cuts through neighborhood and gets me there in half the time thus saving me a ton of gas.
I don’t see your point. Sometimes people want alternate routes. It shows you the time it takes, so you’re obviously already on the faster route. This seems like a pointless post.
Even google maps did this once, i travel less now tho
As long as you’re not on I35 it’s all good.
The people who complain about this are probably the same ones that would complain if they weren’t given the same options…
If you don’t want to take the alternative route then just ignore it. Others might want to take the other route to maybe get some food, pick someone up, take a more scenic route, or something else.
Here you can see the alternate route takes you through Waco and Fort Worth. Maybe someone just REALLY hates Huntsville? Just take your route if that’s what you want.
Pretty normal for Google maps as well although this is extreme.
The worst is when Google suggests a route that just leaves the route I’m on very temporarily and then rejoins it, adding time to the trip.
It’s like, thanks Google, I’m good.
Apple Maps employees have not taken graph theory classes I guess
