Google Maps is an application that is used by over two billion people every month. But as an application that is primarily designed by and for car drivers, it often fails in a human-sized city like Amsterdam.
My go-to is Ride With GPS. It gives you the ability to do manual routing if you want it, and frankly I usually do use that, but its defaults are a lot better than Google.
Yeah I’ve used them as well and the automatic routing is not so good. I can put 2 points 3 feet from each other and it will route them around a 2 mile detour randomly.

I had that happen to me with Google Maps walking directions recently. I worked out pretty confidently that the reason was because Google thought it was a one-way path, because the detour would stop happening if I swapped the start and end locations.
I haven’t found anything that doesn’t require lots of manual routing.

I use my self-hosted Wanderer now.

Is there even such a thing as a 1-way walking path?
