I think what Maps really needs is more widgets that reduce the screen real estate of the map until we can finally drop that feature entirely.


On iphone 4 there is no map left now


Then you'd love degoogled android!

I'm shocked how many apps rely on the google maps widget. It's expensive and mediocre, and ridiculously flaky on my phone.

The web touch UI is laughable, but at least the average third party occluding widget size keeps growing on mobile web pages -- I wouldn't want more than 10% of my phablet screen to be wasted displaying the map I just pulled up, after all!
