A comment on Google Maps has become an eyesore.

Eyesore issues are an aside to the reckless behavior of GMaps' navigation. I don't want to always take a one lane back-country road to save maybe 5 minutes of my life - and if there's no suggested alternative route at the onset there's not really an easy way to compare the times between usual("fastest") and "safest" routes.

Also that 'feature' where it suddenly wants to completely change my route to 'a faster route' unless I interact with the UI in a time pressure WHILE I'M DRIVING or on a motorcycle. And that's the default setting!!! Who thought that was OK?
