Completely agree on maps, current version can cause a lot of frustration with options appearing and disappearing depending on if I've done a search. Who would possibly want to turn on traffic after searching for something? Nobody at google maps apparently as that is one of the options that disappears in search mode. Certainly maps is a special case and maybe you could make a case for having all the UI controls the maximum possible distance from each other, but it causes me frustration visually to do a "where's waldo" search every time I want to change something.
I've seen a number of philosophy of design videos about material, is there such a thing explaining the design choices of maps? Some icons have background, some don't. Different options available depending on the mode. Novel, but frustrating for me, shadow menu under the search box. Is there some vision that I'm just not getting or I would understand better if I just looked at it right? I remember being really frustrated with unix command line interface until I understood the philosophy and then I loved it, would be great to have the same moment of clarity for maps.
