I am sure that most people have been updated to the new Google Maps (v7) by now... For the most part I am happy with the change, with the exception of the fact that they have removed My Maps, mere weeks before I go on holiday (I have spent a lot of time making a custom map of POI for my trip which is now wasted).



However, the biggest disappointment for me is how sluggish the app runs on my Nexus 4 (CM10.1). Compared to Maps v6 which was BUTTERY SMOOTH in every respect, the newer maps is noticeably slower (in terms of frame-rate when panning around, or navigating). Its certainly not prohibitively slow by any means, but there's no doubt that v6 ran better. What's strange is that I'm seeing a lot of people saying that it is "very smooth" in the reviews on Play which has lead me to question whether it is not a hardware limitation as much as it is a ROM limitation of some sort.



How have you found the performance to be so far? Please indicate whether you're on stock, or a custom ROM.
