Google can track your shopping habits, your surfing habits, your eating habits, your viewing habits, and probably more habits than we know about.
But somehow driving the same route five sevenths of the week eludes it.

Google Maps in the U.K. has an “avoid tolls” option.

Google Maps in the U.S. has the avoid tolls option as well. I'm not the poster that previously brought up this issue, but I'm happy to use a toll road if it saves me significant time. It would be nice if I could set a threshold to say "only use toll roads if it'll save me X minutes," or something similar.
In general, I'd love it if mapping apps wouldn't just say "this route includes tolls," but rather "this route includes tolls of $5.10" or however much, so I could decide whether saving 11 minutes is worth it.
But at least I wish they would notice that I always, always exist at Plano Parkway.
