The biggest anti-feature of google maps by far is the 'Change Car Icon' popup when you tap anywhere remotely close to your blue nav icon.

Oh, trying to tap to take an alternate route on the map? Want to tap to add a gas station stop to your route? Sorry, the touch target is too close to your nav icon, but hey at least you can cycle through 3 different car styles endlessly. What a waste of resources.

I’m sure their engagement metrics are amazing for that feature. “Hey, look, Bob used our new feature three times last night!”

I like the car changing feature. I changed mine to a cute toy-car-esque one.
