I agree that the lacklustre search is a major issue. In addition to that, the information density is terrible in comparison to Google maps. Google maps uses colour, opacity, line thickness and other visual cues to distinguish roads. Road names are clear and legible, and a sensible algorithm is used to determine which to label when zooming out.
Apple's maps are a clear second best, giving the impression they skimped on usability testing.
- gdilla 14y agoTrue, though isn't that a data problem and not necessarily an engineering one? While the product manager for maps should have fought for search and transit features, everyone at Apple knew it wasn't there when they released it. Curious why he would have to take the fall for it; when leadership there is so top down, someone higher up must have OK'ed it. Though obviously I know none of the real context of course.
