Ratings and reviews

Functionally, maps is fine. But the color change is awful. The new palette makes streets and landmarks (other than highway or transit lines) harder to see. Also, the palette is more depressing to look at. Bring back the bright colors! Im guessing the point of this was to improve contrast during GPS navigation. But some of us don't use maps just for navigation. I like to explore and browse for fun as well, and this change makes this far less enjoyable. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Almost unusable after the recent update. I'm partially colorblind, and the previous color scheme was perfectly contrasted so I never had any problems. The new color scheme is dark blue, light blue, and gray which are extremely difficult for me to tell apart at a glance. PLEASE include an option to revert to the old color scheme, this is an accessibility issue.

The last few upgrades have made this app less efficient to use. i.e., I am looking at a specific area to orient myself, when I try to move, zoom in, the screen jumps to a different town or state. frustrating! The new color scheme is overwhelming. It makes it difficult to know where traffic is a problem. If you are trying to get a snapshot of traffic to see what to avoid, it is not a true representation. You need to zoom way in to see red - otherwise it all looks green Horrible.
