Another thing google maps always does to me is telling me what the next turn is when its too late and I can't make it anymore. Using google maps with audio only is impossible.

Noticed that recently too - it insisted on taking stupid backroads and what not, instead of straight highway and no traffic. It seems to be getting dumber, or something.
Further, it repeatedly picks a hard route. There's one park I go to that's easier to drive to using one few mile stretch of highway. Google insists it's faster to take these back, poorly lit, windy 2 lane roads. Maybe it is. But it turns a safe easy 3 turn trip into a nerve-wracking 10 turn trip. And it will, as noted above, keep trying to reroute me if I just ignore it and go the easy way.
