Google Maps is annoying AF

Google Maps has progressively gotten worse over the years. It went from a map that displayed addresses and street view to this horse shite. I can barely see wtf I am looking at. I go to maps because I want to see a mother fricking map.
As always, dev teams take two steps forward and seven steps back. Every single dev team in the universe is so good at fricking up something that works. I mean, if anything works well, they break it

I agree. I don't hate it, but I've moved over to using Apple's Maps full time. I like that it displays real time traffic jams/accidents/road closures without being prompted.

I do t understand what you're complaining about. Just click the map to full screen and zoom on it.
Also waze is the best thing out there.

You are right. Concepts like this start out clean and functional.
Then developers have to justify their existence by adding features (Look what I did!), which eventually ruins the product through bloat.

You see that x button next to the place you're looking for?
You can make it a full screen map in seconds.

that displayed addresses and street view
I mean it's giving you the business info with the address, your search results and then a map. And you can choose more map
If it only brings back a single result, you don't get the same look either.
I really don't see the issue here.

i thought this would be about the shitty notifications I get whenever I go somewhere, begging me to take a picture and leave a review
"how was your trip to olive or twist? Help others and take a picture and rate it. Was their a wheelchair ramp?"

I actually agree.
Google Maps is an amazing gift to humanity, but it's gotten increasingly annoying on desktop.
As for Waze, I just haven't learned to trust it yet. It'll divert me some new way, and then as soon as I commit to it, I get a "traffic is building ahead" notice and my trip time increases by 5-6 minutes.
I also get neighborhood frustrations, as we get people from the adjacent county cutting through my hood every day, backing up traffic and whatnot. I get it, they're looking to shorten their commute, but it's definitely annoying.

I like playing PacMan on the tigerland map on my phone, spooky is always lurking around JL's back parking lot.

Most sites, especially state and federal, look like they've been done by committee.
They contain everything they think you need, but really don't.

I fee like this thread is a masquerade for a Motion Industries ad.

Agreed.
The screen is too cluttered. Rarely do updates improve an app.
