It's hard to believe, I know, but at least for the US, Apple Maps works very well and has won me over. Once the maps functionality became good enough on both, it became a battle of UIs, and I find Apple's iOS 10 Maps UI much easier to use while driving.
That said, it's an uneasy win. Google Maps might tempt me back when they ship a speed limit indicator; that's a great feature.
- glitch003 10y agoGoogle Maps on my Pixel shows the current speed limit. Not sure if they have that on the iOS version yet though.
- kllrnohj 10y agoMy experience is the exact opposite of yours and Apple Maps still seems weak. I've only used Apple Maps a couple of times but every time it came up with some rather brain-dead routes for simple local navigation, and this is in the US. By brain-dead I mean things like instead of simply turning left onto the street the destination was off of it went a few blocks past before turning left, which resulted in backtracking. It was bizarre. Google maps had no issues with the same route. My GF uses Apple Maps regularly because Car Play forces her to and she complains it doesn't work that well. She will always use Google Maps instead when she's not using Car Play. Apple Maps seems to be in the "good enough" category still, rather than being actually good.
- lostsock 10y agoApple maps still sucks in Australia. Wife accidentally used it for directions the other day and it took us to a dead end street telling us to continue ahead. By the looks of the tress at the end of the street it's been a dead end for at least 50 years.
