Google maps sending me into train xing 1

Alright this little coincidence has been happening a little too often for comfort for me sometimes when I need to go somewhere and I kind of instinctually know the right way to go it will seem that Google maps has found a brand new cool shortcut for me and every time I kind of try it a little skeptical and lo and behold I end up in front of a train xing waiting in line with a bunch of other people who if I look into their car I can see they're also using Google maps pretty funny and on the map it'll even show the fucking train crossing. Here's the kicker every time I've ended up in this situation there's usually a fucking bridge to get around the train either further up or down the tracks and it's on Google maps every single time yet for whatever reason I keep getting led into this line. Has anyone else dealt with this before or am I completely losing my fucking mind?

Iāve havenāt experience the train xing, but Iāve had it through me into a loop. The directions it had me follow had me circling around a neighborhood endlessly and then I started noticing other cars doing the same thing.

The AI has developed to the point it's getting kicks messing with people's journeys.

Every google maps version passed 7.1 is a piece of shit. I have version 6 on my phone and it gives me good directions. A long ass time ago, when I did update maps to version 8, it gave me the shittiest directions that would keep taking me around my destination in fucking circles. Once I downgraded my google maps version I got good directions again.
You can find it online, it's called "Good old Google Maps" that you can install. It's an apk. It's version 6. Another thing with the old version of google maps is that is uses WAY LESS ram and data, making it a lot more lightweight.
What you need to do is downgrade your maps and then NEVER update ever again. No matter what version of google maps you use, it still connects to the recent 2022 map servers.

Its like they dont want you to know about simple U turns, and then there's that stupid view tilt thing so you can't see your path ahead of time only an empty virtual road and the next turn

It's like they're doing it on PURPOSE and they are laughing at all of us while they take us in fucking circles around our destination but never actually get us to our fucking destination. FUCK UPDATES. I NEVER update ANYTHING unless it's a stupid bank app and I literally can't use the app without a forced update.
