Really… I have to check that out. For a very long time I’ve wanted a mode in maps where it behaves as though I put a destination in without a destination, why don’t they have that?? If this is the mode you mention and I’m only just finding out, then it is definitely the one Google is turfing…
I think this is mostly what you want, but as far as I can find online (and I’ll test it again later today) it no longer shows traffic warnings and your current speed like the destination maps does. I think it used to, though, which is what’s annoying about this whole situation.
I actually lost this feature for a while - it used to be under the hamburger ≡ menu as “Just Drive” and then the hamburger menu disappeared, and I’ve just recently found it again as a widget.
So, yeah, Google kills all good things and I’m sure it won’t last for much longer, but it’s nice in the meantime.

I thought they got rid of that years ago. I used it for a bit after they killed Android Auto.
