The point is to be navigated to the correct location. Just as recently as December in Los Angeles, an address on the beach sent a skin starved date to an alleyway 10 minutes inland that she was totally cool with being in, and I had to tell her to Apple Maps likely did that, whereas Google Maps matched my much more romantic location. Could the opposite happen? I guess. Does it though?
- epistasis 6y agoThats never been my experience, but I really only have my own to go on. However, in the early days of Google Maps, when MapQuest was still around and before cars had in-dash navigation, Google Maps did give me bad directions for driving, that I had printed out, and made me late. I still ended up using Google Maps, and they got better. I will still use Google Maps to discover biking routes in unfamiliar areas, so I do give up my location to them occasionally, but in my experience that's the only edge that Google Maps has these days.
