Google Lost Map Traffic with Apple Maps Switch on iPhones, Executive Says
- izacus 3y agoUhh... doh? What's the news here?
- yftsui 3y agoBack in the old days Apple Maps was terrible and Google Maps was great, people laugh at you for using Apple Maps. Then Google started using Waze recommendations which navigated cars to dangerous routes, also added those UX “improvements”, made Google Maps on a declining slope for years. On the contrary, Apple Maps is getting better on every iOS release, of course fewer people would want to install Google Maps. Blaming a competitor taking traffic without a retrospective understanding what you did wrong, what can go wrong with that?
- rhaway84773 3y agoGoogle Maps has also become extremely cluttered and filled with ads. I was a heavy user of their biking directions and those became significantly worse with a single update overnight a few years ago. Google Maps is still better than Apple Maps (and outside the U.S. the competition isn’t even close) but Google seems to be going out of their way to reduce that gap.
