Story

Planning a Japan trip and it's acting very weird.

1. Just now I was zoomed into Kuwana, Nagoya and clicked the 'restaurant' button they show at the top. It then moved to Tokyo and showed me like 3 random restaurants there. Clicked back, tried again and it showed me restaurants in London.

2. I searched for 銭湯 (public bath) while zoomed into my hotel and it zoomed out to basically the whole of Japan suggesting some random places. I KNOW there are multiple good options nearby.

3. Similar searches for supermarket or convenience store showed results 10-15 minutes away but completely hid some places really close to the hotel. This seems to be based on them having a 3/5 rating - it's a convenience store. Rating is not the issue.

This is on top of the badge spam (Google show so many badges for hotels and things that I can't even recognise my own marked locations in the quagmire) and it's tendency to zoom out to the whole country when I search for things, which is very frustrating as I almost always want to search nearby.

I have maps search and location history off, so it might be punishing me for that.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this, as imo this is a fairly recent (last year or so) issue.
