I switched to Apple Maps because Google Maps lies too much and gives worse directions.

I decided to start walking to one of my jobs. I didn’t know the way walking since I always took the train. Google told me it would take about 45 minutes. It took nearly an hour, and Google had me take all these back roads I would never be able to remember.

The next week, I tried Apple Maps. It told me it would take 55 minutes, and gave me this very clear route that was easy to remember. And it did little things, like have covered roads be a slightly different color than regular roads.

I’m not sure how it is for driving, but for walking directions, Apple Maps is so much better.
