My wife actually uses Google Maps a lot for restaurants and places to go when we are traveling outside our country, but not for navigation. I find that funny, since this is a Maps app after all.
As for navigations it's either Apple Maps or Waze, depending on the country.
- Yeri 3y agoIn a lot of cities (think Asia, Europe) GMaps is still significantly better. Especially for walking and in less common places. In Ghent, Belgium, Apple Maps wanted to let me walk a ~20min detour and follow car streets whereas GMaps correctly allowed me to walk on pedestrian-only roads.
- simondotau 3y agoI found the opposite to be true in many European cities including Brussels, London, Cologne, and especially Antwerp where the metro tram network was fatally error-laden on Google Maps.
- WinstonSmith84 3y agoGMaps is usually better for the social aspect: reviews at restaurants, places, etc. But for walking outside cities, both are really terrible. Mapy.cz (previously maps.me) is an order of magnitude better And for driving, Waze is usually the best. Police controls will be shown, and in some countries, especially outside EU + US, Waze is better at finding a car road, while GMaps may sugges a shortcut through a river.
