You mean that "Explore nearby" thing? I wish it would just stay down. Every single time I open the map I have to drag it down. It uses too much space, and what do I want to explore in my home city for? I know all the places I want to go to. It really serves no purpose on the average use of Google Maps. There's an "Explore" button that brings it up, so why does it have to take up 50% of my screen every time I open Google Maps? "Explore" by its very nature is not so useful that the UI needs to prioritize it at the same level as the map itself.
- londons_explore 7y agoAgreed. Google maps is too bloated, slow, and cluttered, and I suspect the explore feature is a big component of all of those things. Don't get me wrong - it's a nice feature and sometimes useful. It just isn't useful enough to be worth taking 2 extra seconds to load anything.
