Meanwhile I'm having the opposite experience: my phone is more valuable today than it was yesterday.
The driving directions are quite nice, it's vector based so the map can rotate any which way, I think the colors are better at locating nearby green space to visit, and I can click on local restaurants to right to their Yelp reviews. Given the angry mob I was expecting to hate it, but I've actually been impressed.
I think it has a lot to do with where you live, how well Apple localized it for your language, and what features you care about (ex: driving vs. transit).
- jlgreco 14y agoIsn't google map data vector based too? Their maps rotate on android..
- nostromo 14y agoI don't own an android phone. I'm only comparing my iOS map app from yesterday to my iOS map app today.
- justinschuh 14y agoInteresting. It mostly read like a comparison to an Android phone from almost three years ago.
- bunderbunder 14y agoI'm not sure Apple had done much to update their Maps app in 5 years.

- wfarr 14y agoNever on iOS though. Most of the features Google added to the Android version of Maps never made it to iOS, for whatever reason (be it Apple not allowing it or Google decided they didn't want to).
- ralfn 14y agoDidnt the old iOS app only use googles data? So, the features have always been in Apples hand.
