I haven't had any issues with Google maps recently, occasionally it'll try to take me on a more "fuel efficient" route. Recently my wife used apple maps and it took us to the wrong location, it kept trying to take us to Washington township when the address we entered was in Washington heights.
I'm always concerned about google maps because the alternatives suck, but google is making their services awful, one by one. I'm waiting for the day that google maps becomes terrible too. I do have openstreetmaps (using organic maps on android) and I fixed a few things about my local area there but it doesn't have some of the features I'd like and it doesn't seem like they have plans to add them.
Just as an example, business reviews. I can use yelp but it is nice that it's right there. Also, the user submitted things like speed traps, accidents, etc.
