I use google maps pretty much all the time .. mainly out of necessity at work.
A couple of weeks ago it seems to have changed.
What used to happen, is quick press would clear the screen of all the google mess/clutter/adware/etc, and you'd have most of the screen with the maps you want to see. No menus, suggestions, and paraphenalia.
This is how i use it, and set it to satellite view and traffic layer, to show where the really slow traffic is(which is pretty much everywhere in Melb at the moment!)
But a couple of weeks ago, they changed something, where now the quick press only sets a dropped pin. Press and hold still sets a pin too.
Out work vehicles all have the same low tech, expensive system that runs an Android tablet type thing with comms ability.
All vehicles do the same thing, so it's not device specific.
So to confirm, I checked my galaxy phone .. same thing. Checked the Lenovo tablet .. same thing. Don't have touch screen on the desktop so can't compare, but I dare say it'll be the same.
Curious if anyone else has noticed this too, or if anyone actually uses GMaps ... and the same way I use it. (ie. I don't use navigation, just set the map area I need to see and watch for traffic flow).
