I am planning a trip next month to Vienna. Yeah I was looking to go from Stephansplatz to Schonbrunn, which should take 30 minutes on the u-bahn. But instead it routed via s-bahn taking well over an hour. Had to get the qando vienna app, from the transit system.

Also they've really messed up My Maps. You have to use the new one, you can no longer save found POIs to the classic My Maps.

Well in the New My Maps, you can't do transit directions at all. The way they've botched up My Maps, it may not matter if they re-integrate My Maps or Places back into the mobile Google Maps apps.
