I just drove back from Florida to Pennsylvania today and noticed some weird GPS behavior on Maps. On more than half the times I took an exit on the highway, Google Maps would think I missed the exit and would reroute me, only to decide that I was actually on the exit ramp a couple of seconds later.
It was acting like the GPS was reporting a position that was off a bit from my actual position. Normally, that didn't affect it because the Navigation would snap the position to the road it thought I was on. But when I took an exit that veered off from the highway, it didn't realize I was on the exit until I moved far enough away from the highway.
I never had this problem with my other phones. I drove down to Florida two weeks ago using my Galaxy S4 and didn't have this problem. I bought the G3 while I was down there, so I was using it while driving back home.
Maybe it was a change with Google Maps. In the past, when I've ignored the directions that Maps gave me, I've seen Maps showing me driving down the exit that I didn't actually take for a few seconds before it realizes that I stayed on the highway and reroutes me. Today it acted like it was assuming I was staying on the highway and would reroute me almost immediately only to later discover that I was on the exit ramp.
