Google Maps has been malfunctioning for months now. If you search for an address it shows you a PREVIEW of the list of directions WITHOUT A START BUTTON!!! You have to copy & paste it into the GOOGLE map app program to get a start button or sometimes if you ask Google again it'll give you the start button option the second time. WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING THIS IS SO INCONVENIENT!!! PLAY STORE NEEDS ZERO STARS TO NOTIFY APP DEVS OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS!!!

Used to love using google maps but after multiple updates the app had gotten worse and worse with all the bugs. My biggest issue is when it trys to redirect me. If I don't go the route it's telling me to take or if I miss a turn instead of redirecting, the app just tells me to go in reverse in the middle of the road or to do a U-turn onto on coming traffic. It's extremely unhelpful and becomes a hazard and can get me more lost then I was before. This app has gotten unusable.
