I haven't had any issues with connection, but fuck did they screw me over with the voice assistant update.

Used to be if I said something like "Home Depot" it would show me a list of the 4 closest HD stores on a map. Now it just starts verbally spewing addresses for those stores with absolutely zero follow-up. If I say "Navigate to Home Depot" it just picks one at random and starts going.

Does it at least pick the nearest one?

Sometimes, but usually that's "nearest as the crow flies" - my house backs up to a mountain, the "nearest" store are actually 1+hr away because I have to drive all the way around, vs a location 15m down the hill.

Yikes. That doesn't seem too smart to me! I would definitely prefer nearest in terms of actual travel times...
