I don't mind the widgets, but agree on the colors. The water being teal and non-built areas being mint looks both unnatural and has worse contrast, at least to my eye. It's like they wanted to go for a pastel theme but didn't dare go all the way.

At least there's always the 3D globe/satellite view, which I still think is a marvel. Especially if you're looking up walking directions to somewhere unfamiliar, since you can rotate around and see all nearby buildings, landmarks, etc. hope they expand the coverage!
