Interested to know.
Apple maps needs to drive itself off a cliff
Havent heard yet of any Apple engineer who is proud enough to say they are working on Apple Maps
it is pretty good in maybe handful of top cities across the world, mabe 0.0000001% of cities, for rest its just useless
I work on Google maps. So trust me I know where the competition is. Apple maps is good enough in probably the top 20 US cities, plus a few Canadian ones, London, etc .. Yes, we're "better" even in those cities, but beyond a point, better means like we can show the pattern of cross walks whereas apple cannot - fairly useless features. We have far more business coverage, but the flip side is that makes the map far too noisy for someone wanting to navigate/explore. The problem is that Google hasn't been able to come up with any killer feature in the last 10 years. So now it's just a matter of time until Apple catches up in data quality - Google is probably 5 years ahead here, but doing it a second time will not take 5, it will take maybe 2-3. As for traffic data, we're losing the data advantage there as well. By end of 2025, my prediction is that Apple maps will be basically good enough for 50%+ apple users. At that point, Apple will start pushing it much more heavily - and what's Google going to do - file an antitrust complaint? Lol. So yeah future isn't bright
Everything has its use case. Apple Maps is great for navigating airports.
1% of airports across the world 🥲
I use AAPL maps because it’s prettier and better at telling me when to turn. I use GOOG maps when AAPL fails or to look for new stuff.
I find cycling navigation is better on Apple Maps
