Update wont install + other qualms.

Doesnt automatically re-route me to the fastest route when theres a lot of traffic despite showing other, quicker routes available! Its too fiddley and dangerous to keep tapping and zooming out when driving. This should be an option to make it automatic.

I dont want to upload pictures to the map - dont care dont need the distraction whilst driving. What I do need is for the audio turn-by-turn directions to be able to tell me when to turn etc within a reasonable time prior - not after Ive already passed by the intersection/street/location! This seems to be another new issue.
I had to delete this app because the most recent update wont install and is stuck on loading and then crashes, rendering the app useless.
When it was working, I really hate the newly added "explore nearby" stuff. I use Google Maps solely for for driving directions and to view alternative routes from point A to point B; I do not need to explore nearby venders and such while doing this. I keep accidentally hitting the explore bar or whatever its called as it is in the way of the search bar. Very annoying!
Lastly, the traffic algorithm is so inaccurate and is never up to date - and Im in a large, major metropolitan US city, so I really dont understand how this essential aspect can be so feeble, especially now that Google has bought Waze (which was my go-to traffic/route app, until Google messed with it).
FIX please!
