I know I hate it too. Use https://www.google.com/maps?output=classic. Google's become so extremely disrespectful, they don't even ask you to opt in. Seems like every time they hire a new designer they re-design either YouTube or Google Maps when they didn't need a single thing changed.

- I have the new Google Maps UI forced on me. The slow loading one that's un-intuitive.

- I'm no longer allowed to see a "satellite view" of my city. I'm forced to use "3D view" or normal map view.

- They removed the underlined text and increased the font in Google Search for me. Making the text harder to read.

- Forcing me to use Google+ to comment on YouTube videos.

- Redesigning Analytics so it looks like garbage and I can't open multiple sites in new tabs.

There's no better time to compete with Google. At this rate they'll piss all their users away.
