Apple

On my iOS device I use Apple Maps. Like the way the apps is designed and presented and back when I compared to Google, I also prefer some of the differences in how turn by turn directions were given.

I find the data where I am in Australia to be good and haven’t really had the quality issues some regions have in that respect.

Long time Siri integration has also been important for me for setting directions while driving. Don’t have CarPlay, so having the standard Siri assistant play well with the maps app while hands free is essential.

I’ll fall back to Google sometimes for Street view or on a PC, business lookup and details.

I always used Google Maps, but in recent years it became almost unusable. It only shows you paid ads.

Apple isn’t great either, but it’s better than Google.

I swapped to OSM, which isn’t perfect either but you can change the info and sometimes it even has better info than the other too.

I use google for most things, for several reasons:

1. Google seems to have more data. Hours, reviews, photos, including usually more recent and frequent street views. They also have pretty good live traffic data
2. Access to offline maps. Nice to have a backup when you have no service. As far as I know, Apple Maps doesn’t offer offline maps except for your current route.
3. It syncs with my desktop use of google maps, including custom maps.
4. Apple Maps sucked when it first came out. Left a bad taste in my mouth
5. For navigation, unless I need an offline maps, I use Waze. Not part of Google maps, but owned by google.
