I'm from Europe myself, but I'm only marginally crushed to see it go. The feature provided you with an offline map of an area, to be sure, but you couldn't navigate using it as calculating routes is done online. On a small phone screen, figuring out which route to take is not an easy task.
So I used the feature, of course, but only to figure out where I was in very limited geographical areas, in other words, mostly for small hikes.
