Remove guides from Maps

Does anyone know how to remove the guides from the Maps app? It takes up too much space in my view and just makes it difficult to navigate around to find what I want. Alternately, it would be helpful if I could just move it to the bottom, out of the way.

Any way to prevent Maps from zooming in when you type in an address? When I'm using the Maps app on my Mac, I am usually wanting to see the location relative to the other landmarks. Someone at Apple thought it would be a good idea to zoom in on the location that you've typed in (which makes you lose sight of all the landmarks.) I find this really frustrating. Does anyone have an idea of how to override this automatic zooming behavior, i.e. so that when you type in an address and hit enter, the location shows up on the map, but without zooming in on it? I had hoped there would be a preference for this, but if there is, I'm not finding it.

CarPlay Maps navigation view zoomed in? When I am using navigation in Maps on CarPlay to drive from city A to city B, during my trip, Maps shows the entire geographic span of the trip. I’d prefer to see a zoomed in view so I can see what is ahead (similar to what you see when you are NOT in navigation). is there any way to change this? Seeing the marker triangle when my trip is 130 miles and that entire span is on the screen isn’t very helpful.

Please allow us to completely remove guide suggestions. They are visually distracting, popping up whenever I start typing a search word. Some suggestions are also inappropriate, especially for children, I get sexually related content sugessting 'gay guides' etc.

This concept of forced guide exposure is a really bad choice, not something you would expect from Apple
