For the last month I noticed some changes. I live in Prague and always use gmaps and it worked perfect. 1. But now i see that shown time is longer than it is in real. Much longer. Especially I see problems in a route with changes. Changes are shown longer thsan that are. 2. Also it looks like sometimes it doesn't see the transport and it shows me to make e change of going in one transport 3. Few times it showed me to exit next stop and go by feet instead of exit the stop just near my house. Please check it. I love Google maps

In last month I had several troubles using google maps - navigation transit information. While previously it was easy to drive according to google maps now it drives me crazy. Information about the rout and destination arrival is wrong, google sends me to different routes and then it occurs it was not the right choice. The most weird sign is that at the bottom it says that I will arrive in 20 minutes and the time is green, while the road on map is red and there is a sign add 1,5 hour. It is like the application itself has no idea what is the corect information. Yesterday it told me to take a d-tour while there was an accident ahead. Telling me to take the fastest road. My friend was already jammed in the traffic and could not get out. Google said you new way would take you 15 minutes. It was 1 hour and 30 minutes and the friend at the main intersection arrived 30 minutes ahead of me.

After the last update, the app started crashing on the iPad. Only the rough map will load and once it starts rendering it will crash. Nowadays it's quite useless.Anyway, it's a quid pro quo with every update. When my saved places disappeared from the map for a year, the app worked faster. When Google gave me back the saved places, the app started to stutter again within 15s after opening. Then the app sped up, but became oversensitive - the slightest fleeting touch placed a pin in the map. It's very annoying. And it's annoying how the app zooms in and out excessively without asking, depending on what the person clicks on or searches for.The constant two-way flow of data is absolutely horrendous. I've only experienced something similar with the PokemonGo app, which also didn't use single kb of cashe. I have no idea how to prevent this.
The app is getting worse only

I use this app almost everyday day for searching routes, but almost 50% of the routes are strange lately. I always look the day before how should I go somewhere, rely on this application just to figure out right in the way that it is fake!!! Google maps writes: take subway at this time, then tram, but the schedules are wrong. Very disappointing when you have to be on time somewhere. It happens mostly at the weekends, when I search for the route on Saturday for Sunday trip. Please, fix it. One more thing: lately most of the times app says to get off the public transport earlier than it’s necessary and walk some stops. When you hurry up, that’s not what you are expecting to do. What has happened to the developers? It USED to be a great app.
Thanks for using Google Maps! This release brings bug fixes that improve our product to help you discover new places and navigate to them.
