I definitely can second the feeling that Google Maps has gotten "dumber" over time. My city has a major highway that runs over municipal streets and Maps always thinks I've somehow warped from the highway to the street when I drive over it, recalculating and telling me to take a left from the freeway. I'm going 60 and have been on the interstate for the last 20 minutes, how could I suddenly be on the a surface street? I don't understand how I should be comfortable with Google collecting vast amounts of data about my travel habits if it can't even make the experience marginally better with them.
And the Maps webapp still doesn't have a compass. The most popular online map in 2018 can't show you magnetic north, which I guess is because you can't rotate the map at all. That feature was cut in some distant redesign.[0]
