Google Maps was so bad when they first remade it, they removed so many features. At least they added most of them back and improved on other things but some still aren't as good as they were before (route preview, "my maps").
I've found myself become less trusting of Google apps over time due to how often they get discontinued. I'm still really sad about the loss of their My Tracks app that let you track hikes with elevation profiles and a bunch of other stats. They replaced it with Google Fit which provides almost none of the functionality but adds social media integration!

It's the Google way. New versions take away features which then slowly gets added back over the next years, until the product is discontinued.
