It took me a while to get used to the new system too but it actually works quite well and will even show speed traps on route. The easiest way I have found to save "favorites" is to put them into Google maps on your phone. When the phone connects, they magically show up as favorites on the GPS.

To the maximum extent possible I have deleted all things Google from my vehicle. Simply use Apple CarPlay. If time is important to you, the Waze navigation system is the best. After that, the Apple navigation system is next. DEAD LAST, IS GOOGLE MAPS.

you don't have voice command?
I have a 23 Yukon Denali and I've been having problems with the GPS using it directly on the screen and via my android. 1 out of 10 times the phone won't hook up or the GPS thinks I'm 2000 miles away or not hook up. Hit the ONSTAR button and get someone in technical linking. I spoke to Jennifer today and she literally had me redo the phone and car settings where no one would take the time. After 45 minutes I finally works great.
Also she removed permission for the dealer to see my truck via wifi. Appairently this part of the program can cause hiccups.

I’ve been having issues with my 24 Tahoe‘s google maps too. The system has crashed 3x in three months. Lost gps signal causing the maps to freeze. On Star gm tech had to help me through a process of clearing memory and doing what equals a Control/alt/delete to the system. The system has shown me places that I’m not. It’s like the car can’t find itself.
Yesterday the car arrow icon disappeared from the map.

I wouldnt be surprised if there isnt something going on with the satellites... we have had a few of our trucks all of a sudden show up in the Antarctic, Russia, or China.

I considered that. But with the system crashing 3x. And this not happening on my wife’s 23 Tahoe or my 23 suburban before I traded it in, I discounted it somewhat.
