I will go against the grain a little and say I don't mind the new Google Maps, and it's getting better to the point where I might even say I like it more than the old Maps. They have been steadily improving it - initially the street view UI was terrible, and there wasn't even a distance scale. I think we've gotten to the point where releasing such poor stuff and calling it beta doesn't fly anymore when you consider how many people will be using it.
I've gotten used to putting in unnecessarily verbose context in searches, and I assume that's why I don't have search issues in sending me to other irrelevant parts of the world.
I guess there is a lot to complain about. But for me it's still the best map, and pretty usable.
The Google approach of changing things on you - too bad! - is obnoxious. Pushing out Chrome notifications in OS, enabling them by default, and having to find blog posts on how to disable because it's not in settings or documentation, this kinda stuff is just getting old.
