I've stopped using Google Maps as a map altogether and subscribe to the service of a navigation map maker directly. Their maps (they do combine proprietary materials and sources like OpenStreetMap) are of higher quality and have a satisfactory degree of completness as well as good search.
Gmaps has stopped being useful to me since searches in a given perimeter do not show all results spatially at any given zoomlevel, and whole roads and labels go missing if you zoom out a little bit to much or too far in. It used to be a fairly good product around 2012 but has since then declined in utility, especially in contrast to all the catching-up the competitors did in the meantime.
I suppose a huge part of Gmaps business nowdadays is the embedding of Gmaps in 3rd-party products.
