Google Maps has BUS I-90 through Spearfish signed as BUS US 90.

Is Google Maps running very choppy for anyone else?

I've been trying to use Google Street View to find this billboard along I-75;



I have some vague memories of the billboard, and this thing could've been anywhere north of Exit 329 and south of Exit 374. So I've been trying to check using the views from 2007 focusing on rural areas outside of Ocala. The trouble is, it keeps shifting from the northbound lanes to the southbound lanes and I can't get back to the northbound lanes. And when it's not doing that, it suddenly starts going backwards when I'm trying to go forwards. So because of these defects, I still can't find the exact location.

I-270 in Denver wasn't marked earlier today.

And it still isn't (at least on mobile)

It is on mobile (has been for a few days, seemingly), but it's fine on my laptop.

Like the little yellow lines were gone or just the shields?

I'm seeing I-270 marked only as US 36, while I-25 is also marked I-270:

I just logged onto Google Maps and saw this. That’s very odd.

Also, why is MA 128 from Peabody to Gloucester not marked either. It’s just marked as Yankee Division Highway
Decommission 128 south of Peabody!

Google Maps labels are entirely broken. Many of them in a given region are the same (e.g. twenty places all named Georgetown), sometimes cut off in the middle of a word or even the middle of a letter.

Is this still the case? I haven't had any issues.

I-270 still doesn't exist. I kind of wish it didn't as it's my least favorite highway.

The schedule explorer for transit directions was quietly dropped a few months ago. I used the feature a lot when traveling extensively by transit before the pandemic, so it's awful to see it gone.

This seems like an odd choice, I find it hard to believe it wasn't utilized; I didn't use transit a ton but I loved that feature when I did.

And oddly enough, thanks to CDOT's practice of signing multiplexes ONLY if they absolutely, positively have to, there is little to no mention of US-36 along that same stretch in the real world.

Hell, CDOT signs would have you thinking US 36 begins at that I-25 interchange.

In Google Maps the scroll wheel used to zoom in or out.  Has anyone else noticed that it has stopped doing that?  I can still zoom in or out by clicking on the + or - buttons in the corner.

Working for me still. Sure hope that doesn't break, scrolling with the mouse wheel is an indispensable feature.

It happened for me once. Reloading the page twice fixed it.

Hmm.  Maybe it's my computer for some reason.  Thank you!

Works for me just fine.  Just tested it in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer (no longer supported by Google), and Edge.
