Location sharing "live" view, satellite and refresh gone with ios17?

Is there any way to bring back the share location live/satellite and refresh view like it was before IOS17? So many people use this to keep watch on their family, kids, etc. Why would Apple remove this?! Considering just returning my new iphone 15 because of this. This is all you get now when you look at someone's location. You can't even refresh it, you have to click out, wait a while and click back in. Terrible. Please put the location back to how it was Apple!


iPhone 15 Pro

My son travels Internationally a lot for work to areas without very accurate street maps and the satellite view has been way more helpful. As his Emergency Contact, I want to be know the lay of the land where he’s at if we’re unable to communicate for a while. Please bring that view option back from the Messages Contact view! Thanks!
