Why Google's bookmark manager and Docs have purposefully bad UI

I use Google maps for navigation between locations and it works great, not sure what your problem with it is, but if you want an alternate Waze works better imo.

My biggest complaint about Google Maps is the UI. Street names are difficult to read, the scale of how-far-away an upcoming turn is always off. Contrast could use improvements too.

There is also a lot of clutter.

These are traits that have all gotten worse over the years. I'd prefer the UI of the first-gen Google Maps then what we have today.

I have no complaints about the actual navigation, there has been quirks over the years but nothing that stands out in my mind.

The parent wants a map, which Google Maps currently isn't much of.

I like Waze too, but just wanted to point out that they are also owned by Ggogle.

I don't think GP's beef with Maps is that it's owned by Google, though I could be wrong.
