Where I live it still works fine. It might not be perfect and it does not work great for longer bike tours (If you actually want nice tours and not just the shortest), but if you're going by car or train it's good.
Goole's far superior car navigation app is Waze.
What's the big difference? I'm using Maps and it does its job. So what cool features does Waze have that Maps doesn't?
Radar/autovelox/speedtraps community added. And with in-time alerting if you are passing in it and you are speeding
Also, in waze with few taps you can add a temporary issue on the rod, like a stopped car on the shoulder, traffico, police presence etc.
The temp issue thing is also in maps and the radar feature is not allowed in a lot of countries, so they probably won't add it to maps
That's the thing, in many countries it show them even if they are forbidden.
