While utility and ergonomics can be debated, I'd be surprised if performance of Google Maps in particular has regressed. Google keeps track of latency metrics for every one of its thousands (millions?) of services. If the services involved in Google Maps began to regress in latency, it would have been noticed and addressed. You can be sure that many performance improvements have been implemented, and if you had access to the 2005 and 2019 versions, you would be amazed at how capable and fast today's is compared to then.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoI don't have access to 2005 vs. 2019 versions to Google Maps to compare, but I really don't care about latency as much as I care about local performance. Google Maps is getting noticeably heavy over time. What I have good memory about though is GMail. I've been using it for 10+ years now and that really keeps getting slower and heavier over time, while offering no extra functionality to compensate. Google may track latency metrics for all their services, yet somehow, the stuff they do is one of the most bloated stuff out there. I guess they don't look at, or care, about those metrics.
