One thing I really struggle with when using Google maps is that I have to zoom in very close to get bus stops to show up.

The use case is that I get on a bus at place A, travel by bus to place F going through places B, C, D, and E. I've never been to F before. I use Google Maps to plan a journey, and chose the public transport option. When I'm on the bus I need to know when to get off, and I can only do this by zooming into the map really close.

Also, the marked bus route often doesn't follow roads, which means the planner can sometimes tell you to get off at the wrong stop.

Here's an image of a bus route that doesn't follow the roads: https://imgur.com/a/TPIph
