Recent, Consistent Glitches

I have had this app for several years and it had literally NEVER been wrong once. Of course, save for the very occasional, far and few in between glitches that easily fixed themselves when I would close and restart the app, this has been an incredibly reliable service.

However! Recently (recently as in the last update, maybe even the last two updates?) I have had four separate instances where it does not get the final, destination part of the directions correct. Three of these times, the app had me go to an address that was not the address I had entered. Although, the address it would take me to was always very close; no more than half a mile away. For the other incident, it was even more complicated. I entered in an address for a new doctor’s office I was going to. I knew I entered a correct, valid address. But, right after It took me through an intersection, the app told me that I had arrived when all it did was dump me onto a street. I even pulled over multiple times, each time reentering the address, and when I would zoom in to at least try and see where the little pin was so I could just eyeball it and get to my appointment, sure enough it was sitting right in the middle of the street. I was half an hour late to my appointment because of all the circling around a general area the GPS was taking me. I live in a suburban area. It is area that Google Maps has never had any problems with before these recent glitches.

I have also been experiencing slightly less hindering glitches recently. The arrow icon going in the opposite direction that I’m going in for a long period of time is one of them. Another one that I recently noticed is the fact that if I go over a bridge that runs overtop of other roads, the GPS will sometimes think that I’m on the road that is under me. I noticed this on a trip to Pittsburgh, even though this glitch had never happened on previous trips I had taken to the same exact area.
