Ratings and reviews

I prefer Maps to alternatives, but still have nitpicks. On the highway I may turn the screen off to save battery. Maps has stopped keeping focus when you do this, so you have to "re-center". I don't like the same "ding" for messages and speed traps. One is important; the other useless. Sometimes directions are wrong, and don't always accept corrections. Finally, there are many bugs with Android Auto. Overall, room for improvement. EDIT: Thank you, but I've already posted there to no effect.

Every. Single. Time. Without fail. When I have to look something up, I have to close completely out of the app once or twice and search again just to get to see it. For 3 years. Insane that a huge, ridiculously rich company which has taken human privacy away can't create an effective map app. Cant turn off labels in mobile. If I do try to they come right back. I don't want to go on the computer just to see a regular map when I should be able to do it here.

Google Maps is hands down one of the best apps for gps and navigation. There's room for improvement (as always). The app itself should be able to provide other transportation means that are available for certain locations, take into account ferries, among other possibilities. I know it would be difficult to integrate with those modalities of transportation, but it would not be bad to provide them...
