I've got to ask, because I've had very crappy results: is anyone experiencing extreme performance issues with Maps on Watch OS 2?

I'll see lags in direction notifications by 10-20 seconds, during which I may or may not get taps but the watch itself will lag so badly the display won't turn on, along with the inability to scroll through the direction list because it freezes (I don't think I've ever once gotten a smooth scroll).

Also rarely do I get the traffic conditions glance map to fully load or update the time-value after it's managed to load once and the maps app itself moves very slowly at downloading new tiles and levels.

I'm not talking about minor lag, either, I'm talking about app-may-have-crashed-but-somehow-didn't level lagging, to the point that Maps has mostly become unusable for me on the Watch. Never had any of these problems with OS 1 Maps.
