Default Google Map Overlay Changed

We had a problem with the MMI in our 2018 Q7 and they ended up replacing the MMI controller. Also, we got a fix for the overhead camera reverting to graphic mode problem. With the new MMI controller Google maps looks different. For example, there is now copyright text at the top of the screen that flashes (it is two full lines of text) and if you put it in 3D mode there is now a sky blue horizon. Also, it seems the street grid lines are more pronounced and take up a lot of the Google earth image. Is this the upgraded Map version? I have paid for Audi Connect subscription. I also see on the Audi website where they are able to go into "Google Street View" and "Google Points of Interest" but I can't figure out how to do that from the map view.

BTW, did anyone noticed that every time you start the car the map zooms in 2x. If I leave it at 2mile scale when I turn off the car, when I come back it starts at 1mile, next time it will be at 1/2mile. Audi, what's up with that?
