Google Maps suggests a driver a route that adds 4 hours for a surreal reason

Google Maps has added 4 hours to a route of 8 hours and 50 minutes so that the driver does not have to make turns: X users have recommended taking this route.

Google Maps has starred in a new story that has gone viral on social networks. The navigation application is famous for its alternative routes, but this time it has gone one step further by offering a trip that adds 4 hours to the original route.

An American driver intended to cross Nevada until reaching California. The journey It would take you 8 hours and 50 minutes to cross Interstate 80.as estimated by Google Maps, but the application had other plans.

Google Maps has decided to add 4 hours going up to Kennewick (Washington) to return to the same road towards Mount Shasta. The driver considered taking this alternative route, since it had fewer curves.

The user known as @the_thin_air He told his experience on his X account (former Twitter) and it didn’t take long for the publication to fill up with comments.

The alternative route of 12 hours and 37 minutes It is more direct despite adding almost 4 hours to the original routeso some X users have recommended the driver to take this option. “It would be an amazing experience”says one of them.

The longer option not only avoids curves and roundabout detours, it also crosses one of the most beautiful and unknown areas of the United StatesOne user recommends taking the highway that connects Bend, Mt. Hood and the Dalles, which passes through the Warm Springs Nature Preserve.

The driver has finally decided to take the longer route, although the only reason was not the views. @the_thin_air has assured in X that His car is in such bad shape that he can’t take too many corners.so he has been forced to choose the route in which he has to turn the least.

The navigation app is not infallible either and the route of more than 12 hours has a couple of turns near the town of Bend. The users themselves were quick to laugh at the situation: the translation of the word “Bend” is “to bend” or “to turn” and this is precisely the route with the fewest curves.
