Anyone else have this happen to them? I choose a route and as im driving, Apple Maps will give alternate routes that take much longer.

You’re getting routes that are often used by people making that drive. From your location is at least use that slight detour down 287 and forget about passing through Dallas.
Off topic but you look eerily close to where I live 😂 that’s Grapevine, southlake, Colony area I assume
Why is this so accurate
Nah it’s more like
Apple Maps: Drive through this forest, your destination is in the middle of the lake
Google maps: If you take a shortcut through this field of corn you will save 2 minutes
Waze: Why the fuck are you using us outside of the US?
One of the biggest mistake I ever did was trusting Apple Maps during travel
I find it better than Google Maps now. And better looking
I drive all over the country. Apple maps has been fine the last year. Even handled Pittsburgh really well. And if you have ever driven in Pittsburgh thats a real accomplishment.
It normally shows three choices. Even if one is significantly slower it still tends to show it.
I just did Birmingham to Newcastle and got similar results. About 3 1/2 hours by the M42 and A1, another route that detours into Sheffield and Leeds but is only slightly slower, but then a route via the M6 to Carlisle and A69 that’s more like 4 1/2 hours.
If for whatever reason you wanted to avoid that section of I45, or I wanted to avoid the A1, those routes are offered.
Believe it or not there are people that will add 20 min to a 80 min drive to save a buck on a toll
I never trust Apple Maps. Don’t care what Apple says about improvements.
There aren’t that many routes for where you’re going.
Just be happy bro
It’s a way of saying. Take the scenic route.
I’m pretty sure that the way Apple Maps (and other navigation apps) are made, they will always show alternate routes even if they are much longer
It’s in ATF mode
I have the avoid ferries button ticked on. Comes in handy when you live in the desert.
Always weird when I get on Reddit and see a map that goes right past my house (Woodlands area of Houston) lol
I have had options where Apple Maps recommends that I get off the interstate, go do a loop in a a neighborhood, then get back on the highway right where I got off. And it’s about 15 minutes slower. Still no idea why.
