On a 96-core Mac Pro maybe. Apple Maps takes ~4 sec to open whereas Google Maps takes < 1 sec to render in the browser so no it isn't faster.

- hotnfresh 3y ago~2s from hitting "enter" to launch it, to having the map rendered, on my m1 air. I hadn't opened it in a while, so I doubt it was cached. Also this thing's connected to a distant VPN, which may have slowed the network portion down. The app itself was up and had its window drawn in less than a second. 4s to render a new Google Maps tab, same machine. (edit: though that probably had a lot of cache-misses, because I almost never use Google Maps—it's likely faster if you use it a lot)
- superb_dev 3y agoI think you just got unlucky? Just tested on my M2 Air, on battery with all my usual apps open in the background, it takes less than a second to open. I've never even used the Apple Maps app on my Mac (google maps opens in about the same time)
- iAMkenough 3y agoI've got it the other way around. 1 sec to open and load Apple Maps vs ~4 secs to open a browser and load Google Maps. For me, Apple Maps makes more sense and gets the job done well.
