Definitely. Offline maps are great but the only offline routing option is by car. If you want to walk, you have to figure it out yourself based on the driving directions.

I can see from a business point of view that it might make sense to optimize for drivers, but it's irresponsible of them to ignore the impact they have on users. They're creating a self-perpetuating cycle.

Google only draws on the offline maps for me when I shut off my data. If I have a spotty connection, google maps will try and pull fresh data including the road mapping. Shut off LTE and suddenly the app works instantly.
