There were almost monthly stories about Apple Maps leading to death and near-death experiences when they came out, not sure about now. Hopefully they got better.
I use it. It’s definitely gotten better. The traffic and business data isn’t as good as Google’s, but otherwise they’re pretty comparable these days.
Genuine question: If Apple Maps is inferior to Google Maps, why do you use it? I don't want to sound judgemental, but it seems like trading giving your info from one giant corporation to another. If I ever de-Google I'll switch to Open Street Maps...
Apple already has my location data from other apps including Find My. I’d rather give it to one megacorp instead of 2 I guess.
Totally valid. I guess anything is better than nothing, they all pretty much have our data anyway...
Want the original icon for the app a route leading off the middle of a bridge?
