Haven't had the chance to figure out the new Google Maps. Landed in BCN last week, fired up Maps and found a disaster on my hands - no way I could figure out how to get NAV working. Managed to drive to the hotel and once there removed update which has been just fine driving around all of BCN and about 500 miles in Italy.
It may be a better product but having it sprung on you at the beginning of a trip without recourse is inexcusable. Google needs to rethink its approach to updates and how that impact customers.
