With the old google maps I could count on the fact that I could hope on Google maps 60 seconds before I needed to head out find the directions I needed hit print and be on my way. Or I could have some one on the phone talking to me and saying something hey I am lost I am kinda in this area of town I could pump that into google maps and give walking directions or even driving directions realtime over the phone. The new google maps is frustrating to use. All the ways that I used to use google maps for just don't seem to work with the new maps either because they removed the feature, or moved the UI elements in such a way that they don't exist on the same page any more or its just too slow on my very fast laptop and my very fast internet. I really hope they fix it fast, I am loosing all hope that maps will ever be usable again.
