Google Maps (on Android at least) has an awful style when using it as a pedestrian. The map overemphasises the road numbers like A3, and it can be difficult to find the name of the road.

Google Maps is very clearly "designed in California", with no awareness of the rest of the world.

I had the same impression in Asia, where subway exists are numbered and it makes a lot of sense to get out at the right exit but Google Maps does not really take the exits into account although they are on the map.

It also does not display the non-Latin names of stops, which would've been useful sometimes, especially when asking people for directions. People in Asia aren't often terribly familiar with the names of the stations in English.

One of my biggest gripes when using Google maps for car nav. The road names it uses rarely match street signage or road markings, especially at busy roundabouts. The approaching lanes it recommends are also usually incorrect. I wish there was something better.
