  Wow, I really dislike the new Google maps. I must have sent them 10 bug reports on the thing in the first week. And I'm still frustrated with it. Having not done user tests, I can't prove it's objectively worse, but it is certainly worse for me. They've totally broken my use of starred places. Search is much slower, especially doing a new search to replace the current one. You can no longer leave navigation running while doing a search. The screen where they offer you route options is useless to me; it gives me 1-3 indistinguishable options, and I always just click on the first to see what it's talking about. The menu button frequently doesn't do anything; the search button never does. I would pay them cash money to give me the old version back.

    How did you use starred places?

      Well for one they used to always show on the maps... now most of the time they don't. It used to also be easier to load an address close to where pub wanted to navigate and select what is near here... that option is gone, so it is harder to navigate somewhere now when you know where you want to go, but don't have the actual address. Stared places have you the option of having a location already selected, but now it is very inconsistent.
