Hah, that's what I thought. Why not just buy a map at a service station? I thought one of the main points of Google maps was to avoid paper maps.
And to be clear, I was talking about the web version. I also use the iOS version which works fine too. No issues for me anyways.

I went back to KitKat for the lock-screen music controls. It's much easier to touch the play button than to swipe, enter pin and then hit play. And why the bleep do we have to swipe before entering a pin on Lollipop - why can't the number pad be on the lockscreen like on KK?

Is the lockscreen music control there all of the time? I have it when playing music (and shortly thereafter) with many music apps, but not otherwise.

One would think that a successful company like Google would no better than to try to fix things which aren't broken. The cynic in me thinks it is all a scheme by webdesigners to stay employed. They convince Google management that they are needed because what is already designed isn't really the best.
So many google failures of late... Google+, the new Google Mail compose, and now new Google maps.

I have noticed in the last few days that when driving at night, the map occasionally "flashes". I have been too busy driving to catch what it is doing at the exact time. Has anyone else noticed this?
P.S. Why does it seem to have the worst time with wrong directions and lanes in Google's hometown?
