Lets stay focused on Navigation within Google Maps, not some other Google products. When I am driving on freeway at 70 mph I am not interested on billions POIs. I want restaurants within 5 miles _along_my_route_. On the navigation screen like [1] what should I click to get this information?
Can I add a waypoint by clicking anywhere on the map? My car had these features 9 years ago.
Also look at the "lanes support" on the same screenshot. Compare it to [2]
POI on google maps is terrible. However the fullscreen lane guidance takes away a usable map for a generic artist's rendering. Guidance can get in your way or just be wrong if you're driving through an area with multiple interchanges or the highway numbers/names don't match the numbers/names that the signs happen to be using or your GPS sensor is being glitchy, or there is construction.

That's kind of an arbitrary division, right? Doing POI through Google Now actually makes for a much better user experience than anything I've ever seen with a GPS. It's pretty great really.

Yes.
Oh wait, you meant on _Mobile_ Google Maps! But that is a different product. Let's stay focused on Navigation within Google Maps. ;-)
