Dont want to just "explore the area"

Cant believe that you can no longer search a particular location for a particular type of store or service other than the menu items given!!! So frustrating that it appears that you no longer build an itinerary from this app of several particular stores/locations! Also it appears that you can no longer drag driving map to alternate suggested routes, if, for example, you want to take a more scenic rather than fastest route, or avoid highways.
