In the Netherlands, I want to say that Apple Maps is actually better than Google… but only if you’re driving.
For some insane reason they don’t have biking maps here (or at least in all the places I’ve tried) which is such an enormous blunder.
Try OpenStreetMap for cycling maps, it's the best for cycling by a mile.
If you want to use it on your phone: OsmAnd app (or Organic Maps)
Osmand is great at navigating (less so at searching for things). Never heard of organic maps, I’ll give it a try.
I was in the Netherlands a couple weeks ago and I really liked using Apple for public transit. I had to open the NS app a few times for some more detailed route info but overall it was a nice experience.
I also had issues with Google’s walking directions having a hard time figuring out where I was and what direction I was going but Apple was fine.
Tbf, I was only there for a week so I might not have had a full experience.
