Default Route planners - which do you use ( and why if possible). ?

Just wondering ..
We use Google maps simply because it’s simple …

My brother in law does a lot of driving and swears by Waze !?!

Many seem to use MAPS ….

Google maps, it's great, I sometimes even use it if i know where I'm going but want to know which route is quicker traffic wise.

I do still remember the days having to navigate with an actual map though, stressful

Yeah

Maps were a nightmare especially given we both preferred to read the maps from opposite directions ..

I use Google Maps. I don't really know of any alternatives, which shows the dominance Google have.

I generally works well, although it doesn't know about a change in the road layout, near me, that happened a while ago.

When digital maps became a thing, you used to have to buy a physical box thingy, like a tomtom, I'm sure my moms husband still uses his one

We had two TomTom sat navs and both failed us repeatedly so then we started using Google Maps and never looked back
