I've never had any issues with it locally, and in fact I like it better than Google Maps in a lot of subtle little UX ways BUT I live less than 10 miles from Cupertino so it'd be crazy if they weren't really accurate here. I was in China a few weeks ago, where Google Maps is blocked, and was very impressed with the quality of the maps even in quite remote areas. Having access to reliable English/Pinyin maps in China is a new experience for me. On the other hand, in my travels to Mexico and even some rural parts of the US, I have seen a lack of detail in their maps compared to Google's.
The Uber/Lyft app dependency on Google is surprising but probably shouldn't be. I wonder/hope it's different on iOS?
