I really despise opening Google Maps nowadays on my phone. There have been so many updates that cripple it and make it worse. Really hope someone comes along and puts a good replacement out. Recently it won't even show results on the map easily.
My search results come up as cards with a tiny sliver of map, then I click on the map and they all disappear, sometimes if I scroll around desperately some will load eventually. But all I wanted in the first place was a full screen map with some icons, not one by one cards to click, also with tiny slivers in them.
Not even an isolated incident. I takes half a dozen clicks when getting directions now as well and several other tasks. I don't think the Google graphics designers are being forced to perform usability studies like they should be. If they were, they would realize some level of 3D actually helps users determine what is clickable or not.
