    Maps has been consistently getting better. Don’t believe the meme.

      Last year it took me to a completely different spot for a popular restaurant in SF. That’s like the reddest of the flags.

        And last month Google Maps tried to convince me about 12 times to get off the highway and take back roads on a 900mi one-way trip because of hallucinated traffic. OSM needs more good apps.

          Google Maps isn't great for navigation either, but I can easily vouch for Waze (also owned by Google now).

    Yes but maybe they learned something. I know their crawler has been out a while

    Not only that, Apple Search Engine powered by Siri.

    While I still use Google Maps to look up businesses, I have long preferred Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation in the car. The timing of the queues is much better. Google often left me driving with no idea what my next move was until the last minute. Apple Maps tells you right after you make a turn what you need to do next, so you can prepare. It's much more relaxing for me to know what's going on. Apple Maps is also great for transit, where it supports it. In Tokyo (several years ago) it would tell me how much money to put on the ticket for the trip I was taking, which would have been pretty confusing otherwise. Not sure if Google has made updates, but at the time I don't believe they had this.

      I agree that Google Maps navigation is terrible, but Google has Waze for that.
