Most annoying map. Can't locate state borders. Map flips around. Can't figure out distance to a certain location. Won't let you just pinpoint a location. Won't let you change your route without having to wait for "rerouting".. And so much more. Deleted!

Im directionally challenged and often in places I don't know/Traveling and regular Google maps on a high-powered Pixel phone mind you, was completely broken and they were doing nothing to fix it. When you were walking the arrow pointed down and they kept trying to make you use live view. Google Go fixed almost everything. Now it's trying to link up with Google maps which I cannot take off my phone and so it's not working anymore. It used to fix the problem now its broken

This is worse than the original Google maps. I am extremely disappointed in its poor design and maintenance. The very worst in maps. It lacks information, it's delayed in loading, even with a solid connection. I'm looking for a different map app now. Continues to fail to load information. Fix it already!!! Continues to fail not loading properly or not at all. Still failing to load trip information. It takes too long to let ad information, and there is missing and ineffective information. USELESS
