WHY have they changed the good old reliable Google maps? The new ones take ages to load and are far too fussy to do stuff like drag to change a route.

Please can I have my old version back? Please?

Typical Google, Microsoft etc.

WHY change something that ain't broke? WHY????

 

All in the name of progress I assume, they need to keep trying different things in order to move forward, especially in this day and age.

 

Ah , I thought my phone was acting up after a software update as my maps take an age to connect (5 mins sometimes)

So its just Google being daft.

 

Jack Clark will be along in a minute to tell you you are doing it wrong.

 

I wish someone would tell me how to get the old os back.

 

Is this a phone?

The broswer version looks normal:

Still not showing which road is a toll road, and still not updated the routes in Spain that are now dual carriageway

So let me get this straight...they change stuff without fixing core issues...like getting the maps right?

 

That's about it.

It's on this desktop. I had a look at the new maps, didn't like them and they have put them on here in place of my old ones.

When asking for directions, it USED to set a route, which was easy to drag and drop to a different route and see whether you save any distance etc.

The new ones, when you zoom, only show the route you can see, when you scroll down it slowly fades up the rest, plus dragging and dropping is now so fussy it ends up doing loops.

AWFUL.

 

Update: you can go back to the old style by going to Google maps.com, clicking on help and support, then on return to old maps. Once you do that, it gives you an option to make it permanent, or it will default back to the new maps when you navigate away.
