Updated and resolved
Long time veteran user of Google Maps. Freezing issues have been resolved on the latest iOS and I have switched back (from Waze). The only issue I see as a bug recently with GMaps is the search bar being shown out of proportion. The bar appears thin and sometimes clicking in the search bar when I am on the phone or have the hotspot leads to misclicks. Seems that the bar is adjusting to the full-screen resolution rather than moving to accommodate the iOS notification bar when on the phone or using hotspot.
