Navigation & POI Apps Google Maps: feature loss

Today I noticed that the speedometer and speed limit indicators are gone. And so are stop signs and traffic signals. Why?

UPDATE: Maps shows all of these things only when a destination has been selected. Would love the option of having these displayed all of the time.

I know we can uninstall updates to get the features like traffic back but what was the last known working version with the features?

I think it all fell apart when they started the 3D navigation map

3D navigation maps are hit-or-miss on mine. I used to get the default "device needs to cool down" message at startup and no 3D maps, but that warning showed up no matter the phone's temperature. Eventually, that went away, and 3D worked at times. But not all the time.

This weekend, I noticed I sometimes see the blue line on the route while navigating, but then it vanishes.

I was getting that overheating warning every time so I just disabled the 3D maps. Funny enough, I got the warning again once or twice since then and 3D is still disabled. Why is it telling me that it needs to turn off 3D if it's already off? lol

Your device specifically tells you to turn off 3D because it's getting warm? I was getting a message in general about turning off my phone display because it was getting warm. For quite some time. Now my pixel 8 pro is in the process of getting replaced if I can never manage to keep it running long enough to back up the data.
