No. Apple is far far better.
You can't sign in to Apple Maps. Apple doesn't know who or where you are, except via a random frequently rotating identifier.
Google pushes you hard to sign in with your Google account, tracks your searches and location, and associates that data with everything else they know about you.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoAll of the things you listed don't apply at all to OSM maps apps and are opt out in Google maps. In Apple's ecosystem you cannot opt out of sending Maps queries from maps links to Apple at all. Additionally, if any app at all requests your location, iOS sends your location back to Apple, and you cannot opt out. On even Google-flavored Android devices, you can choose not to send any location information to Google at all.
