Radar maps still dont show the top rated Pokémon all the time. I have seen a Dratini at a Pokéstop but it was not on my radars.
Main Issue with Raids:
In general Raid battles are great with larger number of trainers participating but there is one big flaw in my opinion.
I fought a level 4 Snorelax today and there were three of us from team Instinct and the rest were from the other two teams. In all there were about 6 or 7 of us battling. On the meter after we won it showed that team Instinct helped defeat the gym boss by about 75%. The other 2 teams were way less affective in the battle. Yet 2 of us from team yellow could not catch the bonus Pokémon after our battle. If this happens again I am done with raids. Why would I want to battle in a raid only to help the other side get a level 4 Pokémon and I get stuck with the constellation prize? This is a major flaw in the raid battles.

Radar and Maps a little better but why so long to update?
Not enough Pokéstops or gyms:
It would be nice to have more stops and gyms in the areas out side of town centers and big cities. I am always running out of balls and many of the Pokémon eat up our supply. I dont have time to drive or walk down town everyday to get more items. Since this is a game not able to be played in our home we would play it more if we could get items in our neighborhood, on and around our block.
Even mobile Pokéstops could help this problem. Like how Pokémon show up to catch, why cant you make the stops show up or some form of a Pokéstop?
Or
When some one signs up with an account to play Pokémon Go why not have a Pokéstop automatically created at their home location that only they can use and or see?
You are going to lose many gamers with your new update which limits the speed to 20mph when spinning for items. It was a great game that kept my kids busy while on long drives. If you do not come up with a solution to fix the problem we may just move on to other ways to waste our time. Even a bike can go faster then 20mph.

With every update it gets worse.
The built in radar is not very useful. It should have some way to let you know when you are getting closer to a Pokémon but it doesnt. If they do not bring back the third party app radars I may be done with the game. Why do they care how users/customers find their Pokémon? Well, some not so smart managers are possibly going to lose revenue if users decide to quite playing the game because they are tired of the API being disabled by Niantic.
It also gets kind of old after level 27. I am on level 29 and it feels like I will be on the same level for over a month. I am about to call it quits.
