Everything about walking directions from Apple maps (directions on lock screen; Apple Watch integrations) is better, UX wise.
The problem is, despite admittedly massive improvements, I still have issues with it containing stale location data, incorrect POI classification information (e.g. convenience store without gas pumps marked as a 'gas station'), and suggesting paths that don't exist or simply aren't tenable (no, Apple, I am not going to talk a walking shortcut through the middle of an Italian military facility).
- DHPersonal 3y agoWhile I don't like the feeling of being exploited through unpaid/volunteer labor to improve the app, I do know that most or all of your issues can be resolved by reporting errors through the app. Business data can be changed by users pending a review by Apple, and routes can be reported with a thumbs down/up response upon resolution of the trip. The walk through a military facility is a little harder to report, though. :)
