Ratings and reviews

Like the app as a whole, but the new color scheme for traffic is garbage. The green color for fast traffic is gone, making contrast of the streets too difficult to see other navigation options. It forces the driver to focus more on the phone instead of driving. When searching without traffic it's easy to see, but when viewed with traffic, I hate the new view.

Google has really disappointed. Recently they completely changed the coloring to the maps and it doesn't help. In fact it makes it hard and frustrating to use. Google Maps Go is not much better. It has the better coloring but it's a step backwards with its layout of where options and things are. And you can't rotate north and south then press a compass to bring it back. Google is really not doing great with their maps.

Latest update took away my ability to clear all of the garbage and menu options from my screen by simply tapping once on the screen. Now, tapping on the screen sets a pin which I hate. I want to be able to view a map without any other garbage on the screen until I need it. Suggestion for Google. Offline maps should be easier. You need to offer a way to enter a route and then have the ability to download all offline maps needed to navigate that route. This is also why phones need SD cards!
