Google maps in Android Auto can be infuriatingly wrong because of paid spots.

I once looked for nearest gas station while driving and Google tried to route me to an Exxon 10 miles away even though I knew a Shell station was a mile away. To double check, I eventually found the Shell gas station myself and while stopped in front I again asked Google for the nearest station and it still tried to send me to Exxon. I then searched for Shell gas Stations specifically and it showed it.

So Google has the Shell gas station in its maps but didn’t want to route me to it.

Just like a Google search, I don’t even want it now.

its all shopping stuff, which is annoying when troubleshooting, im reparing buddy, not buying

I’ve found Startpage to be a good, easy alternative. I’ve tried DuckDuckGo and SearxNG, but I think they are more extreme than I need.
