Elizabeth Laraki, a former Google Maps designer, criticized the new design of the app, stating that it feels colder, less accurate, and less human. She believes that the amount of elements obscuring the map is excessive and that only highly useful features should be included. Laraki suggests simplifying the design, prioritizing map visibility, and removing legacy and low-use features. Google responded by stating that the updates were based on research and user feedback, aiming to make the map easier to use and understand.
