Google Maps a) uses the wrong source language for street names, preferring the minority language over the majority b) butchers the street names pronunciation so badly I don't have clue what it's saying 80% of the time
For me Apple Maps is the clear winner, just because I like to have my phone in english - doing voice commands in my native language feels silly and is more error prone.
Additionally Apple Maps UI and voice is clearer on when to swap lanes, which is a life-saver in busy intersections where you haven't been before.
As a hack I use the Irish english voice for Siri, it pronounces street names correctly about 95% of the time and the rest is still legible.
