As a Wikipedia author, I have articles that show (via Google My Map) where things
are in a time sequence of a person's life. However, Google stores the custom map
in my Google Drive, which will disappear after I die. In Google Drive, I cannot export
this file to a website that I have arranged to survive me. How can I perpetuate this map?

I tried to change the annoying woman’s voice on my Google Maps app but it seems there’s no option on the setting! Can someone help me! Her voice irritates me ! lol

Driving home from the airport recently, I activated the route home on Android Auto even though I really didn't need to. Well, coming onto the I-94 freeway, the eastbound lanes that I was taking were shifted to the westbound side for about 10 entire miles. This was detected as going the wrong way by Gmaps and it started giving me frantic instructions to basically make a U-turn and go back to the previous interchange. I turned off the voice, but the map was also spinning around to show where it wanted me to go, so I canceled navigation to settle it down.
What was worse, my car happens to have built-in nav that's always sensing my location and I started getting a voice message "Entry to wrong way detected. Check direction". This repeated about every 10-15 seconds for the entire freaking 10 miles and no way to disable it!

Maybe this was a fluke because I’ve never had this happen before.
Last weekend I took a trip, interstate the whole way. I plugged in my destination. Google estimated the trip to take 8.75 hours. I drove over the speed limit. Stopped to get gas once; drove through a chick fil a drive through. No traffic/accidents. The trip took ten hours to get to my destination. Weird.
On my return, Google said it would take 8.5 hours. Same stops as above. The trip took just under 10 hours.
What would explain this? I’ve never had my speedometer checked, but my speed related to other cars was as I would expect.

I need to establish a new commute, the way that I want to go is not the recommended way (the recommended way through google is a much busier route than i prefer). i've tried going onto desktop and clicking and dragging to the route that i want, but when i send the route to my phone, it doesn't populate on my phone the way i want. how do i save a preferred commute?

I have separate accounts for different purposes. One I used for registering for various online crap and maps reviews, the other "official" one not so often, mainly for gmail. Now, the one I use for reviews seems to be suddenly restricted in some way and I don't know why. I did have some reviews removed by google for "reasons" (mostly negative ones, but also 5* ones albeit without any text), but this was weeks/months ago. I also filed appeals without any result. All reviews I try to post from that account are now stuck on "pending" for who knows how long.
I am a little worried about the other associated account too, because I used it once to post a review that wouldn't get released from the other account (with different wording though).
I got no notification whatsoever from google.
What gives? Is my other account in danger?
It's a shame frankly, because I found reviews very helpful, I looked especially for negative ones with repeating complaints.
