I’m still amazed at the people who claim that Apple Maps is as good as Google Maps nowadays. If you live anywhere where there’s lots of development, it’s definitely not. It’s also terrible when businesses or places of interest move. My wife’s business moved a half mile down the road and a single message to google maps got it moved in a couple days. Apple Maps took about a year with multiple requests and even multiple messages to their special “escalation” email address.
Agree that Google does a much better job of pulling in latest road and business info, even in the US, even in California, even in Cupertino.
But if you’re not going to some brand new addeess on a road that didn’t exist six months ago, Apple maps are just so much more readable and usable. Sucks thst the fata isn’t as good, but damn does it show what a difference colors, fonts, and tasteful selection of what to show and what to hide nakes,
I routinely have to drop into Google maps (international travel, and some newly developed areas) and it always feels like time travel to a 90’s website. Except for the whole “data is current” thing.
