Reminder: Dont use Google Maps for hiking

Google Maps' recent AI-powered update still falls short for outdoor hiking navigation, as shown when a group of novice hikers underestimated a challenging trail's duration and required rescue. The app's walking time estimates don't account for trail terrain or difficulty, making it unreliable for complex hikes. Apple Maps has introduced some hiking features, but experts advise against relying solely on mainstream navigation apps for serious outdoor routes.
