> they have added all sorts of phantom merges which often obscure the real next turn/exit until the last second because there is a nonexistent merge on the map
This is the thing that I hate the most. It wouldn't be so bad if they kept a zoom level where I could see what's coming up, but they zoom in super tight until the phantom merge point is passed. If I'm traveling 60 mph and I have to cut across 3 lanes of busy traffic in less than a tenth of a mile, I'd like to have a fucking heads up. When cruising on the interstate, I'd like to know my exit number without having to scroll past all the instances where the number of lanes changes on my way there.
My Garmin GPS from 2007 had a better UX than this.
