As it seems to be a different format with a propensity of large windows opening up blocking the map giving airflight data and making it hard to plot directions from here to there and copying and pasting the map is now different,i havent figuredout how to do it yet.
Or do i have some kind of virus.
I remember in the good ole days in Google Earth when you could zoom in as far as you wanted to with a true top down view. When you try to do that now, it forces the view to a different angle, as though you were coming in for a landing on a plane as opposed to a top down view. Pretty annoying. I haven't seen Google Maps in a while, but their track record of 'fixes' is kind of sad.
Basically, a totally screwed up mess they are shoving down the throats of b(m?)illions of people who would rather have the old maps back
That's one Hell of a business model.
BTW, if you access the ? menu you can go back to classic maps.
Thanks.
I dont understand why people feel the need to change systems that work very well to systems that may benefit a few but in general dont work as well as the old system,this Google fiasco a case in point.

I can tell you why. The kids all want to do more and better "kewl" things, and to hell with us old geezers who like the way things that have worked reliably in the past.
Change for the sake of change. Forget reliability, functionality, plain old long the mantra of good business, which is "If it ain't broke, then DONT FIX IT!"
Yeah, I got hit with this "change" a few days back, and I had to revert back to the "classic" as the new map just wasn't workable. Very twitchy and buggy, and it was nearly impossible to do street view.
I sure hope I can stay with "classic" for good, as I'd hate to have to switch to Bing or Mapquest (does that still exist?)
I never can understand the idea of changing things that are working perfectly to begin with. Can't they pass a law against this kind of junk?
