It always underestimates traffic and travel times by way too much. Only thing I don’t like about it tbh, have to look at gMaps or Waze just to check ETA first before firing up Apple maps. Almost never accurate when driving in Los Angeles. Otherwise, such a smooth driving experience. Before anyone asks, I don’t use gMaps because it breaks my CarPlay rendering, gives odd directions, can’t tell which lane I’m supposed to be in when I’m driving on an unusual junction (57/60 junction for example), gives me an exit number instead of name, and doesn’t make my watch vibrate. Don’t use Waze because it takes me to even more obscure roads, hard to turn off (why is GPS always on with that app even when not using), and is just noisy and cluttered with alerts in general.

Might be related to your locale. I find the ETA to be pretty accurate.
Gmaps and waze are shit compared to Apple maps. I switched to Apple Maps while ago.
I actually like Apple Maps a lot, but I suffer a slightly different issue. IMO, ETA is off because future, well-known traffic patterns aren’t accounted for. If you’re driving 2 hours through downtown, and you leave at 4pm, it should know that Monday-Friday there’s a rush hour, and should pad for the obvious pattern.
But gMaps is able to accomplish this. It will precisely tell me that it would take me 1h20 to go from Playa Vista to long beach in rush hour accurately +/- 5 minutes tops, while Apple would always under estimate by at least 20 minutes.
Yes, but my google maps GPS is absolutely horrid. I used it for years, and am a very recent convert. It would constantly reroute me, think I’m driving the wrong way, have me turning down strange streets, etc. At stop lights, it would decide I’m on the other side of the intersection and need to make 3 U-turns or some dumb shit. gMaps was great for a long time. Something needs to get fixed, but I don’t want to feel like a beta tester.
Crappiest product. But improving
Can Wish say the same? Not even trying to throw shade here, you guys pay so much money for a company who is known to be an alibaba proxy. Whats new with Wish?
