According to the Wall Street Journal, iPhone users are increasingly finding reasons to choose Apple Maps over Google Maps, with some customers commending its clear public transport directions and visually appealing design.
Apple maps has much better turn by turn guidance (“Turn left at the next light” vs “Turn left in 1823 feet”) and the UI is very clean.
I still find I trust Google more for traffic data and aggressive routing (especially waze).
That being said its AMAZING how many road closures and turn restrictions google still doesn’t have, even in large cities. It will constantly tell me to turn left where it is no longer allowed, and these changes were made over a year ago in a major US city where they have massive offices. Wild.
I’d say the days of Google dominance in car navigation are ending
