Have you found a maps replacement that you like?

I've switched over to using Here Maps[1]. It's fast and doesn't hide controls, unlike the new Google Maps, and you can get fully offline directions in its app by downloading map sets ahead of time.

No. But I've lived in the same area for a while and know how to get around so it doesn't come up much. I use a dedicated GPS device in my car when I need it and prefer that to a smartphone app.

I feel the same way, I moved to fastmail.com about a year and a half ago and I'm perfectly happy with it.

have you tried maps in lite mode?
