Probably 75% of my Google Maps usage is to check business hours or grab a phone number; they've really got that down. Apple is catching up, though!
- actuator 6y agoYeah, I really liked when Pixel integrated the phone number bit into dialer itself. I can start typing a business name and it just pulls in from Google maps. The iPhone I have now is a work phone, so don't use maps a lot, should see if it has improved.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoI mostly use siri to call a business and it works every time for me.
- antipaul 6y agoTotally. In apple's own back yard, SF, business hours are too often totally out of whack, that you have to confirm in Google Maps each time. And I am biased towards Apple Maps for privacy and usability reasons
- chipotle_coyote 6y agoI'm pretty sure Apple Maps is using Yelp's data for business hours -- those seemed to be mostly reliable until the pandemic. Now, not so much. I don't know if Google is doing better on that point.
