- simondotau 2y agoTransit data on Google Maps in Sydney Australia has been broken for ages. It's correct (and more clearly illustrated) in Apple Maps. https://x.com/jxeeno/status/1814975093380116783 https://x.com/jxeeno/status/1814975093380116783
- koyote 2y agoWhat's broken with it? Seems to be working fine here. What I have noticed is that the satellite view for Sydney is over 3 years old.
- astrange 2y agoSatellite (actually aerial) images are very expensive to collect and not all that useful. Oddly, until recently Brisbane's satellite maps on Google were over a decade old even though it showed a current year copyright. More up to date on Apple Maps, except it doesn't have Brisbane in 3D, even though it does have Gold Coast.
- squeaky-clean 2y agoApple Maps transit is easier to read when zoomed out IMO.
- infotainment 2y agoThis -- Apple highlights rail lines in their appropriate colors, which is an amazing way to visualize how lines are routed. Google's is kind of half-baked in comparison, IMO.
