Thanks! Now that y'all say that I think I remember reading that before.
I always use Google Maps, so I have never actually seen it (turns in the IPC) myself.

Maybe a case to try Apple Maps and HUD?

My brother was just telling me that in the last few months Apple Maps has seemed to do a better job for him than Google Maps.
I just don't want to switch because of all the saved places I have in Google Maps.
But, if I do try Apple Maps, I still don't see turning the HUD back on...

I go between Waze and Apple Maps. Waze is better at real time of arrival and traffic routing.

Ditto. I do like the Waze for info about road conditions and such (and LEOs). But sometimes Waze likes to take me some very crazy back-country routes.

Agree. Sometimes I’ll navigate with both at the same time, keeping Waze on my head unit and alerts on but have Apple Maps also navigating and it goes to the IPC.
Side note, I like Apple Maps for non-highway navigation the best because of its 99% accuracy of traffic light locations.

Ditto again, on running Waze with Apple Maps simultaneously.

I used to use Waze exclusively. Then something changed and it started giving me routes that were just ... BAD.
After a week or two of that I changed back to Google Maps. But now, very recently, it seems like Google may be starting to do some of that, too.
I can't help wondering if it's something they are doing on purpose to try and actively shape traffic. Purposely sending people on "worse" routes to pro-actively distribute traffic instead of sending everyone down the same path.
Being that Google owns Maps and Waze, it seems plausible that, if they did something like that, they would implement it in one app and also add it to the other as well.

When Google bought Waze, they agreed to stay outta it. They really, basically have which is why Waze’s UI isn’t the best.
I used to use Google maps then they added all the garbage into it and it became overwhelming.
