What used to be a mapping and navigation tool is now just an ad machine. Blue and square pins(ads) everywhere, "latest in the area" ads shoved in your face constantly, completely irrelevant search results that are clearly driven by advertisers, etc, etc. Beyond the ad issues, it also has a difficult time when you choose anything other than shortest route. I often prefer scenic routes only to have Google automatically change back to the "fastest route" mid-trip.
