- Better in app UX and functionality (tracker, offline, weather on a route, etc.).
- Substantially worse at places data, especially user reviews and photos - when I'm choosing a restaurant, I use Google Maps.
- Worse at search.
- bagacrap 6y agoI just opened mapy in my mobile browser and it was essentially unusable because I couldn't drag the map with out long, slow redraws.
- RivieraKid 6y agoThe mobile app is quite good.

In your example, everything is just green. I've seen arguments about removing unnecessary information and decluttering the map. But very often forests, for example, have very distinctive shapes, which helps immensely to intuitively recognize locations with a quick glance.
