I use apple maps if I'm actually using it to get me some where as I find it more visually pleasing and like that it stays on my lock screen instead of having to open it to view it.

I use Google maps if I need to see what's close by in terms of restaurants or coffee or if I'm DJing a multi stop trip as I find that feature easier to use in Google maps.

Yeah this sounds like me. I like the UX of Apple Maps if I know where I’m going. Generally I find it easier to read, especially things like street names and highway names. If I’m looking for a new place however, google has way more data for search and reviews
