Maps is a search problem and Apple Maps has gotten quite good. It’s my go to now after a decade of Google maps.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoJust got an iphone last month and apple maps has worked perfectly every time for me. I'm not exactly a maps power user but I haven't seen an issue.
- ako 6y agoIt still lacks cycling, that is usually the reason fo me to open google maps on my iphone.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 6y agoAs of the next iOS release that will no longer be the case
- ColoradoDev 6y agoAs long as you live in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, or Shanghai and Beijing.
- chipotle_coyote 6y agoThat's coming in iOS 14, evidently.
- ColoradoDev 6y agoSo I'm using iOS 14 and just tried to pull it up. It has a message stating "Cycling directions are not yet available in [my city]" A quick google search to see if it was simply because of beta or there is a limited roll out, produced this: >New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Shanghai and Beijing in China.
- spideymans 6y agoLook for the arrival of cycling in Apple maps upon the release of iOS 14 in the upcoming weeks

- xenospn 6y agoI find maps much more pleasant looking than Google Maps, and that's a big deal for me.
- squeaky-clean 6y agoApple Maps is my goto because Google Maps just hates showing street names for some reason. Zoom in so a street takes up 100% of your screen and it still won't display the name many times. Obviously that's not the only reason, haha, it's gotten surprisingly good a few years ago. Public transit and cycling is better in Google (though nothing beats CityMapper for transit if it supports your city). But for walking and driving Apple Maps is my winner.
- cromwellian 6y agodefine "good", the POI database is still woefully lacking outside the US.
- fomine3 6y agoLack of maps.apple.com is still problem for use it for primary map service.
