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.

Does Waze actively change your route during trip to avoid traffic?

Idk, it's pretty awesome being able to navigate to gas stations based on prices, and knowing when a place is about to close all in 1 location.

It's pretty awesome being able to see traffic and even being able to see what normal traffic conditions are at any time the day. Planning to leave at 5pm on a Friday? You can look at what your route usually takes at that time

Try searching for the Superdome and you get 1 result back and basically a full screen map.

Click the arrow, and it's completely full screen

Basically what's happening with Google maps. It keeps bringing up features that are completely unnecessary. It's especially annoying if you need to do it while on the road. Then it also seems to often to select odd routes that screw up the time and don't change until you're right up on a turn.
