- ghshephard 11y agoI use google maps for about 15-20 minutes a day, every day. I didn't even realize we had been upgraded to a new version - Just took a quick peek, and the 4-5 things I do (Satellite, Transit, Traffic, Address Lookup, Driving Directions, Street View) - all seem to work pretty much the same on both maps - the newer interface seems to be more modern to me. I have to believe, based on my what I would consider my own moderate google maps power users perspective, that fewer than 1% of google maps users will have any issues with this change.
- theg2 11y agoNew maps on computers without some sort of GPU acceleration is pretty painful and laggy compared to old maps. Compare maps.google.com to maps.bing.com and there is a noticeable performance difference (obviously not feature parity though).
