The last trip I encountered this was on a Saturday night around 11pm north of Syracuse, NY. Drove about 20 minutes in empty, industrial areas to get to a restaurant. It was one expressway exit from our hotel, 5 minutes tops. I think that the app did that to avoid a u-turn or a left turn.

Which is fine, but avoiding left turns and U-turns needs to be available as a user preference, and it (inexplicably) isn't.

Agreed, that’s why I find it a user hostile app. Amazing mapping engine, not so amazing UI.
