I agree on that list. #1 is a loss. #2 and #3 are complaints without merit in my opinion. No need to zoom by buttons when a gesture does it now. Still only needs one hand / one finger. #4 was a loss, but I replaced the functionality with a different app that turns out to be much better.
Latitude is a "finder" app. i.e., Did my kid make it to school? Is he at the mall like he said he would be? How far away is my wife from meeting me for dinner? etc. My family used it. Found Life360 and it is 100% better.

I saw some real panic over item 1 online right after the upgrade dropped, as people who had set up events based on shared maps didn't know how to address the problem. (There are some options but they're workarounds.)
