For Lyft drivers, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

GPS is borderline dangerous. Recommends illegal turns, doesn't always give warning of upcoming turns resulting in turns made from wrong lane, can't differentiate which direction it's facing. App is very distracting while driving. Doesn't have easily accessible "last ride" option, so if you need gas you must cancel all pending rides and log out to cash out and ruin your acceptance rate. Was forced to decline 3 rides while driving on a busy area of I-10 just so I could gas up.

I was using Waze until last weekend, now I'm stuck with Lyft's awful navigation. And the Android Auto app is even worse. Shortest route doesn't mean best, I find myself ignoring the navigation instead of using it until I get close to the destination. Not showing the name of the business I'm heading toward is a huge issue. I've lived in my city my entire life, business names are way more useful than the actual address. Especially in areas with many things packed closely together. Not good.

The "features" on the app has progressively gotten worse as they continue to "update" it. Restricting drivers to use the Lyft version of maps is horrendous. Telling us to make illegal turns, driving on restricted roads, and recently gave directions to a destination that would take over an hour more, rather than a more direct route, because it was 10 miles less. The passenger and I got a good laugh out of that, especially since time was a huge factor. Let us use Google again! In a 750k population
