They've been absolutely wrecking Google Maps's performance and UX on Android since around ~1.5-2 years ago.
Switch back to version 9.42.3, or possibly a couple releases later if you need the "Favorites" and "Want to go" features in addition to just "Starred". It's pretty snappy and a breath of fresh air.
- artificialLimbs 7y agoTried, after force stopping and disabling (which reverts it to factory version, 9.72.2) on my Verizon Galaxy S7. Says "App not installed." when trying to install APK after running through the install process. =(
- mehrdadn 7y agoYou'll need root for this. You should be able to use one of those system app removal tools, or Titanium Backup if you have it (you might be able to convert it to a user app first). You might need a reboot after you do that before you can install another version. At least that's what I did on my end.
- hnick 7y agoRelated, they released an update for GMail a while ago that bricked the app and made it not able to open on certain inboxes (I had 3 accounts on my phone, one would trigger this bug as soon as I switched to this while the others did not). The only fix was reverting to the stock version, and it was AMAZING. So smooth. I had completely forgotten how fast it was while they boiled this frog's water over the years with their updates.
