Strange navigation directions

Anybody else get strange navigation directions after the 2018-4 map update?

For example when driving on the highway it can tell me drive off at the next exit, and then tell me to drive straight on to the same highway again.

Today it told me to drive off the highway at four different exits, only to drive onto it again. This on a 30 minute ride, that I’ve driven a hundred times before the update.

I updated to 2018–4 just fine. Stockholm driving mostly.

I believe Navigation does this sometimes (including third party App like Waze), to save a minute or two in a congested highway. If you look ahead of the direction and see the Nav is doing this, then just ignore it and stay on the highway.

The car tried to lure you to explorer places you hadn't visited before... and it failed...

Hahaha, thanks all. It was a busy morning, so might have been due to that. This was Stockholm as well nogren, it brings hope that your navigation is working as expected.
