They added the feature that used to bug me the most: when I search, my saved locations now get preferential treatment.
And, yet, the maps themselves are worse: they changed the algorithm for which labels are displayed, making it impossible to cause some street names to appear.
- Bartweiss 10y agoThat's by far my biggest complaint. Driving in a dense and disorganized city, street names are sometimes the only way to sort out which of several connected (or vertically-overlapping) streets Maps actually wants me to take. But with the labelling change, it's impossible to coax out the needed information. Combine that with Google's exotic definitions of "sharp" and "small" turns and it's surprisingly inconvenient.
