It’s very hard to look at a glance and figure this map out. The key is hard to find and just as hard to use. Having to read the road conditions is a step backwards. Also the printed description doesn’t include in which direction conditions exist. It’s also hard to find the cameras. When you do it seems there are fewer camera angles. Many cameras had multiple angles previously. If they do now it’s hard to access. The overlay of various features is cluttered and nearly impossible to use. Why are the symbols for various features also hard to recognize now? Like the camera symbol looking like a paint roller. If someone would put the old app as it was back into use I’d gladly pay a monthly fee and delete this worthless version. I’ve read the reasoning. The old app needed updated. That’s understandable. But it didn’t mean scrapping a useful tool in favor of something that’s absolutely not user friendly. How many one star ratings and scathing reviews will it take to return this app to as similar to previous version as possible?

The old version was easy to use. At a glance, road conditions were easy to see, and with a simple swipe, the legend would better define the actual conditions. This new version has eliminated that function. I still haven’t found the legend. Currently one has to read the conditions report as opposed to simply looking at the map as in the previous version. Huge, wasteful step backwards. My official rating would be 1/2 a star it I could. Updated review: after trying to use this worthless app, my decision has not changed. There’s no cities noted. While trying to help my granddaughter navigate roads, she kept asking where was a certain city. We had to refer to a Rand McNally map and compare them side by side. Worthless app. Find another one to use.

Every time they re-invent the wheel it works less efficiently. This app is no different. It should not require a degree in computer science to operate it. The old version was much more user friendly. But that’s why some college educated idiot had to change it. Because it was useful. And it worked in seconds. I could pull off the highway , check the road report, and be traveling again in two minutes or less. But now it’s at least twenty minutes. Or longer. If this required a subscription I would not pay for this garbage.
