I live downtown in a busy neighborhood and Google has a "How busy is it right now?" thing, as inaccurate as it potentially is, is super helpful so I don't walk over to a bar/restaurant and find out its packed to the brim with people singing Titanic over karaeoke.

For Macs Apple made a Pro Workflows team that looked at a bunch of specific tasks done by photographers, videographers, programmers etc and worked to make macs, ipad and iphones better for those specific things. They need a team like that for Maps. Run someone through "I want to go to a bar tonight" on Google Maps, have them try it on Apple Maps, spec out what is needed to actually make it work, and repeat for a couple dozen use cases. They really have been able to do this for a few areas within maps. If they broaden this out they'll be a serious contender for Google Maps. They already have them beat on privacy, speed, ios integration etc
