@Korina as I mentioned above, I think you should consider an ad supported free version instead of removing existing features. Two main features for me that were removed were unlimited favourites and 6h/12h satellite view.
We understand that nothing is free in reality, and how costly it is to provide these services. And beggars can't be choosers. But I believe this could have been handled better, and if it's a choice between loss of features or moderate ads then I'd definitely take the ad supported model.
