Roads to them to see when researching

The roads are nearly the same colour as the background Land mess. So it’s very difficult to see the roads when wanting to just have a look around for my own research. They are fine and it works fine once I’ve selected a route and pushed go. For instance right now I’m down in the Catlins of south of Otago, And there is much to explore and do down here. So sometimes I just want to scroll around the map and look at all the different roads. But I can hardly see them and especially if I am zoomed out. So I have to zoom in which defeats the purpose of trying to get an overview

When will you update?

I love using this app, as its great to find your way around when you are lost. I recently used it whilst on a holiday in Sydney, good to find where I wanted to go around the city. But I think your photos need updating. I saw on yr site that my area has been done. But the photo used in the house where me and my parents used to live 4yrs ago is still old, as we know longer live there. It shows their cars in the carport, and a letterbox we had taken out four years before we left (we put a new one in). So your photo is about 8yrs old. The google earth one is up to date, so I think you guys need to update yours too. Other than that, everything else is great. If your photos were up to date, I'd give you five starts for sure, as I use this app all the time 👍🏻

Helps avoid traffic jams!

I generally know my route but always ask Google Maps to guide me. So often there is a traffic jam that I am advised to avoid.
I also use Satellite View when taking my boat up small rivers. You can actually see the shallow water and navigate safely. My charts often don't go up rivers.
Finding a shop or store that I have forgotten the name of is so helpful. It shows if the shop is open or not, saving a wasted journey.
