I’ve been using Apple Maps since getting my first CapPlay compatible car. I switched because the Google Maps app was (and remains) awful to use. GM forces you to view a very small view of where you are going next. Multiple click to access trip view and custom map scale. In contrast, Apple Maps makes it easy to toggle between multiple views with one click and the UI is less cluttered.
Personally, I like to use the map to occasionally update my mental map, not for turn by turn spoon-feeding. Apple’s app makes this much more convenient.
Additionally, bookmarking in Google Maps remains primitive and hard to manage. Apple introduced collections over the last few years which are great.
What I miss the most about Google Maps is the photos, which are generally better than Yelp (and don’t open a new app).
Apple has work to do outside of US, but their maps make steady progress year after year, and if the US indicate where rest of the world is headed, things will get better.
