You can turn off all those settings though, one of the few things Google still does right.

    I've rarely had such suboptimal experiences with Google Maps. With that said, I've moved to Vela Maps, which is sort of like NewPipe for Google Maps; use it while logged out with local-only customization. It's gotten incredibly good over the past months! It's a bit worse than Google Maps in failing to account for temporary roadblocks, but other than that, it's incredibly well-done, despite almost certainly being an LLM product. (I'm not inherently against LLM products as long as they're privacy-respecting and efficient enough, such as, I suspect, Episteme Reader, and AI-originated-but-human-continued Stirling-PDF.)
