I used the navigation app, that was "merged" to Maps with the satellite imaging to navigate in a boat coastal backwaters especially at night. With the old navigation app, while negotiating tricky shallows, it was made easy and safe with the more accurate navigation (lost app). When I drove 35 mph the arrow move seamlessly and was very accurate. Now when I use Maps (the new app) I almost get killed hitting a jetty because that app only refreshes every few seconds or so It would show me in the channel and I was several hundred feet out of the channel. No matter what your reply, the previous version was more accurate to show me where I am and timely. Of course both would get me from point A to Point B picking the nearest roads but the earlier version showed me where I was (exactly) when I did not ask for directions. In fact, right now the Maps App indicates I am about 350 feet from where I am at with my phone. I would be willing to pay for that old app! Please bring back the real-time accuracy or sell the old product in the play store.
