@EyesEyesBaby @enu I prefer it to Google maps as far as turn by turn directions. It’s also feels more natural with spoken directions. For example turn right at the second light or stop sign instead of 30 feet. Google has it beat for information though. Nothing beats google search. What I hate about Google maps are their weird directions. They will put you in back roads pretty frequently. I’ve been in dangerous roads because of Google and never had that happen on Apple Maps.
