Ratings and reviews

Snap!!! I discovered something new that "unnamed" never showed! Sweet! I love the flexibility of routes, because that other "unnamed" map was constantly trying to redirect me to routes that were blocked or under construction so I would take a different route, and the route would go weird on me. Mapquest has always been more reliable for me. I tried "unnamed" and I regret taking so long to come back to mapquest. I'm not a fan of ads, though. Especially when I'm driving.

It needs some improvements. But I sure won't go back to Google. You're stuck with me. However, I can't figure out how to save a place into my collections. Also, the location markers are unclear, fuzzy, too big, and need to be simplified. Skip the artwork and just use the little default markers. All in all, thanks for keeping the historical names of the bodies of water that the evil orange thing thought he could change.

I like it but it's not accurate, and it lacks a more convenient way of stating the wrong path has been given. It had me attempt to make a right turn where I could not —i physically could but there was a permanently fixed sign that stated I was not allowed to. Also, the internal feedback button is wonky and doesn't work. Only giving 3 because these are crital features. But I'll stick around to see if the sudden tick in popularity will prompt updates.
