Maps App Extra Features Suck

Why does the Maps app have extra features that are completely irrelevant for what the map app is supposed to do. The "Editors Picks" is the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and on top of that it gets in the way of being able to use the the map app as a map. I don't care about what the "best sandwich in LA for a hike is" when using the map. I care about seeing directions and traffic. Not some random article from the LA times. Please get rid of this feature, it is truly an awful one.
