There are some significant features that have changed. For example, it's become a lot harder to pick alternative routes, it used to be possible to finely edit them. Also, I don't think it's always been this way, but sometimes when I chose a route in Maps on Android for my own reasons, it will revert to its own idea spontaneously, putting me on the wrong route. Another feature they removed is it used to be possible to tap the current big green navigation step to have it read it out loud, which was really handy, now you have to drill several taps down into "directions."
Combine it with the other annoyances, like it showing destinations and advertisements that have nothing to do with my search (including a persistent bug where they show up as results when they're not after a couple interactions), and not being able to chose a particular route and send it to someone (my carefully selected route gets ignored for its calculated route), along with the fact they can just change this under people's feet, and I'd be glad to switch to something based on open source/maps.
