The new Maps is an utter failure end to end, IMO. It's much slower than the previous version (both the web and android app), it takes ages to load; the various tools (traffic, etc) are much less practical and easy to use; on the mobile version, it can't cache large areas anymore (complete PITA), and anyway there isn't any way to manage the cache; and the guidance on the android version doesn't work at all anymore, it systematically displays the map on a wrong orientation and gives ridiculous indications; the last couple of times it sent me on the wrong way repeatedly to a point I simply stopped using it at all. Furthermore I failed to see any significant improvement from the rewrite. Only annoyances.
