My current way of using Google maps is to use it for searching and localization and then use what I call a "real" map app afterwards. I.e. on mobile I will use Guru Maps or on my desktop I'll use some version of Open Street Maps. My main issue with Google maps is that it isn't really a mapping application anymore; it's a navigation application. It's not really suited to being used as a map (e.g. it jumps around randomly, it hides road names, etc.) and instead focuses on showing you how to get somewhere assuming you're basically a robot following their instructions (e.g. navigation while driving). That's fine and all, but really isn't what I want out of a mapping application. I'd choose a paper map any day over Google maps.
