In Version 2.1.x and moved map not showing an existing route with “Menu button > Routing > Actions” it was possible to
Reverse route
Show whole route
Place waypoints on street
Clear
There it was very easy e.g. to show the route with the “Show whole route” action. Now in 2.2.x (Beta) this is no more possible. It would make sense, if e.g. the “Show whole route” action (or the “Actions” action) could be selectable in “Menu button > Routing”.
The “Show whole route” is also available in all map actions.
(long press on the map)
The drawer cannot host every single thing, like desktop menu.
It is already too filled and it should contain less in the future.
Also note that Google advertised the drawer user interface in the past.
Now it removes it from Google apps and advertises the top / bottom tabs.
e.g. Google Play, Google Maps, …
However, tabs reduce the screen space available, important for map apps.
