    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.
