Google Maps has gotten worse if anything over time. The mid Atlantic corridor is a great example -- it's real difficult to transit the DC region without being directed to the Baltimore-Washington parkway, although alternate routes exist that are within a few minutes of each other.
The other thing it is missing is the ability to protect traffic over a long road trip. If I'm driving from NYC to Maine, they should know about typical commute cycles. The Microsoft Map desktop app had a manual capability to do that in the 90s.

I agree.
