I use Google maps this morning, and by chance saw it take me anti clockwise around a traffic circle, as if I was traveling in America. In the past I hear the lady tell me to exit a number exit, which sometimes are wrong, but today I realized, anti clock, Google is correct. Is this just on my phone? How do I inform Google about this Screenshot_20200730-105237.jpg

My Google Maps on phone and in car will always say "take the first exit out of the circle for the left turn out of circle which shows that it clearly understands how I need to navigate the circle.
Perhaps your location in Google is set to USA?
 
It looks like you're in walking mode because of the dots, usually walking mode just takes you the most direct route.

Change to driving mode and see if there's a difference.
Yup, the little walking mode man is at the top of the screen there..

Turning the phone upside down instantly solves these Opposite Hemisphere problems. Don't tell us you didn't know this?

No need for that, just check the green bar in the screenshot.

Is it due to it being the most direct route or due to the rule that pedestrians should face oncoming traffic whenever possible?
