when I gave it an address it showed two routes, picked one by default and a green bar at the bottom of the screen that had a thumbs up button with the chosen route info next to it.

just tapped the thumbs up because i had no idea which was better

the thumbs up is regarding traffic conditions, and it has accompanying text and voice saying as much.

if it knew traffic conditions then what the gently caress is it asking me for while I'm trying to drive?

think it is confirming that you are on the fastest route and offering you a chance to dismiss it?

like "yep computer has double checked that this is the fastest given current conditions and traffic" and you say "ok cool"

you are not giving it any new info by dismissing that popup, i don't think it is asking you for anything.

how about it just tells me where to go instead of distracting me with useless questions? i think that'd be fine too.

The pop-up plays a voice that says "You are on the fastest route to so and so in light traffic. You will arrive at 3:51, have a nice drive" but I guess the op was too busy having some sort of breakdown regarding a thumbs up icon to notice.

pretty cool stdh.txt post here brother. Google Maps has never been anything other than totally flawless, perfect, and ownage. It has never bugged, glitched, or crashed. It's easily the best navigation software on earth.

my fav was when gmaps decided a great time to beg me to rate it was right when i was navigating a highway exchange but that was like 4 years ago

Never had this happen or heard of it happening to anyone. Going to file this into stdh.txt and add a iAilure Megacorp White Knight Idiot tag to your file. Take care.

iOS 10 is decent but they went overboard with the round rectangle frames and it kinda goes against the grain of most modern web and mobile design, welp thanks for listening, cya

buzzfeed grows in size and userbase thanks to their awful clickbait, gradually transitions to reporting on real news as more and more people make it their home page

wapo shrinks as its editors get increasingly out of touch, gradually transitions to posting buzzfeed clickbait in a vain attempt to capture a viable market
