Or there's the zooming. It's always zooming in or out in a really inconvenient way. The worst is when you search, they zoom you out 10x, just so they can show you more results, but I don't want results from 100's of kms away.

Result: Zoom out, show 10 places with ratings starting from 1.5, among them a nail shop and a government building. If I'm lucky, it will also show the 4.7 star pizza place 2 blocks away, for which I needed directions.
Funny thing is, sometimes Maps will zoom right in. The classic is when I'm looking for something obscure near my island off the Croatian coast, and it'll zoom right in to a match... in suburban Bratislava. It's almost like it's hoping I won't notice where it's gone.
