It is a very useful feature when you're abroad. To uninstall the update : open the launcher -> drop the maps icon on the "App Info" label -> Uninstall updates
Re:Github: Investigating an increased number of unicorns on Tuesday July 02, 2013 @10:04AM (#5977825)
Github is using Unicorn as their web server. If you face the 502 error page (https://github.com/502 with the Unicorn) that only means that the Unicorn worker your request was send too took too much time to process it, and was killed. https://github.com/blog/517-unicorn Nothing crazy.
