Idiots @ Google Maps, Please Fix

How does the world's most valuable brand with thousands of the smartest people miss something like this?

I had used Google Maps to navigate to a certain location (A) in town a few weeks back.
Then, more recently, I had gone out of town (B) - and, you guessed it, used Maps a lot..
Can you guess already?
Yesterday, I wanted to go to location A again and, went into Browse from Recent History hoping to find it.

Considering the phone knows where you are, do you think you want the locations that are in town to be displayed at the top or all the crap you searched for in (B) to show up ahead of (A)? I don't get it. This is simple, basic stuff. Idiots!

Not sure what's on their backlog and why they don't disclose their bug list or upcoming features list so that users can proactively move to other solutions if possible. Far as I know, failing to pause YouTube when Maps needs to announce something is still an open issue..
