Google maps feels like some PhD nerd endeavor. It’s stunning how much more usable Apple Maps is and has become. I can use Apple Maps and it tells me in simple instructions how to drive. Google Maps is still stuck on “drive 300 feet” like I know what 300 feet is. Also what’s up with showing slower routes? Why give me more decisions all the time?
My pet peeve is that “open now” literally does not work. I’ll search for restaurants, filter by “open now”, and literally some of the results I click on say they are closed. How hard can it be…?
Yes what is up with this??
Seriously. This has been an issue forever now. Just filter the results damn
Fuck Apple maps
What triggered this rant lol. Rejection emal?
You are joking right, you don't know your north from south son
You should know what 300ft is for safety reasons, given each vehicle you operate has a 0 to 60 and a 60 to 0 rating in footage. Your tire wear also impacts this distance. Your safety matters, so does the safety of everyone around you. Please, arrive alive.
Man driving around Seattle is incredibly frustrating. I’ll pick a “no toll” route, and begin driving. As I’m driving it will switch to a toll route because it’s 3 minutes faster, and it will go ahead and switch without my confirmation.
Is this after you modify the settings to avoid tolls ?
Did not know that was a setting that would need to be updated. If I have manually selected a route without tolls then it should never switch to a tolled route, especially while I’m driving and without waiting for confirmation. That’s just bad design.
Yeah those distances are a bit tricky if you have two crossings that are pretty close. But overall the experience is good for me.
Use Waze. Not sure why they are still a different experience years after acquisition, but it's still better.
Spoke my mind.. in the bay area Apple maps hands down, not so reliable in other places. Carplay navigation is superb with Apple maps, hard to go back to Google. But Google still rules with reviews etc.. if I need to know about a restaurant/place Google maps it is

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
Hmm might need to try apple maps again based on this
Switched to Apple Maps about 4 years ago after Google Maps constantly kept taking me off the highway to random roads and rerouting accordingly. It would eventually correct itself, but was super annoying. Never looked back after switching.
