Google maps seem to have altered their presentation and I am finding the new Google maps absolutely awful now. Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to Google Maps please?
I don't know what they have done but the colour is terrible and it seems to be much slower and appears to lack detail that was there before.
So typical when someone alters their website. Often for the worse.
I think the colours may be a bit paler than in the past, I'm not sure, but if so they have been as they are now for quite a while. I certainly don't have any performance issues (no slowness) & the detail is as good as always when zooming in. The following screenshots are a couple of random ones from Melbourne. Are these like you are seeing?
This is on a Mac, via my web browser (Brave). On my phone , using the Google Maps app it is similar, but the contrast is a little better, & just as fast.
If yours is running slow I wonder if it may be browser related & clearing the cache or trying a different browser might bring animprovement to speed??
Having used the inbuilt GPS navigator in our new (to us) car recently (Garmin Suzuki 2013) I find google maps to be far superior.
If you google 'alternatives to Google Maps' you will get a list of apps you could try. Personally though I think all of them are inferior to google maps in some way. You may just have to get used to the new colour scheme, or hope that google listens to complaints and gives an option for the old colour scheme.

Hi, with our travels in Australia including our tours to UK and Europe we have had good success with Osmand Mapping.
I had noticed a change but it did not fluster me at all.
A few years ago, a work colleague sent me a screenshot from Street View of me walking on the footpath near my place of work, face suitably blurred of course. I went to show my daughter, a couple of years later. An updated round of Street View photos were then published. However, I was also in the newer Street View photos in a different position near my old office. No, I did not spend all my time on the streets.
