Ratings and reviews

Used to be great, but lately on a number of separate occasions, has failed to suggest the best/fastest public transport route options that I know are available (and which it used to suggest). Also once told us to drive down a bike path which was impossible and illegal to do with a car. I'm finding this app no longer reliable for navigation, will have to switch to Waze and citymapper.

Google Maps is preinstalled and cannot be removed. You cannot choose to avoid a certain road (e.g if it is closed, or if you simply don't like it). When sending a custom route from your PC to your phone where you avoid such roads, it is simply ignored on your phone and the "shortest" route is given. Works okay otherwise, but not very usable around here.

The fastest way to get back to the initial state from active navigation, search results etc. is closing and reopening the app. The alternative is spamming the "back" button countless times. Public transit info is too cluttered and frequently causes missed connections just because it's so unintuitive to find the actually relevant info.
