Google Maps could be about to change how you add stops mid-drive — and this is why it'll make your life harder

One of the great things about Google Maps is that you're not beholden to the directions you've set up. If you want to make a quick stop somewhere for lunch, gas, or something else entirely, you can do that — and have the app help you figure out where you need to go. But things might be changing for the worse.

Android Authority has uncovered the change in an updated version of the Google Maps Android app. Rather than showing potential stops on the map itself, Google Maps will instead be showing them as a list that pulls up from the bottom of the screen. Needless to say, I am not very happy about that change.
