Less a criticism of the map itself and more of the product, Google Maps overall keeps getting less and less usable.

On iOS it’s possible to tap down into several layers of menus and options to where it becomes impossible to get back out. (For example restaurant -> suggested places -> restaurant -> review) From the lack of well designed navigation it’s clear that the app is a messy collection of UXs thrown on top of each other.

Don’t even get me started on the desktop browser UI where there seem to be competing google place and google map place products.
