Google Maps - keeps changing

Does anyone notice that Google Maps keeps changing - I mean literally virtually every day.

One day it's the easy to navigate version. So you can do streetview, while still seeing where you are on the map, with the map across the bottom of the screen.
The next, it's really difficult to use. For example, you cannot then drag the "man" across the lower map to a location, and you've no idea where you are on that map.

I also go to the same page as I have a shortcut to it on Firefox.

I am not sure if they are making the changes that fast but whatever they are changing, they are changing it for the good. I got great help from google maps so many times and it never disappointed me.

They are switching it between new and old on an almost daily basis.
The new version really terrible. Firstly it runs slower, secondly: on the old version, you drag the man to the map. You are then in streetview, and you can have the 'full scale' map running along the bottom so you see where on the map you are.
You cannot do this in the new version. So you have no idea where you are on the map.
