Just noticed today that "Nearby Charging Stations" when used with "Search Near Current Location" gives the distances based on a direct line on the map, not a driving distance.

The closest station was across the river, about 6 miles if you fly, but driving distance was over 20 miles. If you are low on battery and 14 miles is quite a difference.

Until the navigation did not say "starting guidance" it still showed the 6 miles to the charge station, but after that, quietly changed to 20 miles.

Anybody else noticed this?
 
Not a helpful as it could be!

Also, they could easily display the Direction of the Charging Locations.

Further, the present status (ocdupied, broken, locked, private, charging/usage fee, parking/access fee, etc. are not indicated.

Yes, they could do a LOT better.
