Interesting to see the usage of Apple Maps! Any specific reason?
Why do you refuse to use Apple Maps? It's really quite good these days.
No mention of Apple maps? Hmm ...
Too bad Apple Maps < Google Maps, still.
If Google maps (I presume) is working well enough for you, why are you trying so hard to switch to Apple Maps? :)
Is Apple Maps still far behind Google Maps?
Google is better, but Apple maps is perfectly useful these days. They actually respond to suggestions on updating their map as well. I have pointed out that a couple uturns are not valid options and both times within a couple of weeks they updated the problem.
I always use Apple Maps, but once in a while if I'm in an unfamiliar city and the Apple Maps directions seem suspiciously weird, it is useful to have Google Maps app for a sanity check. (directions to a particular pier at the Seattle waterfront were insanely incorrect via Apple)
My primary need in a maps app is to answer the question "how are the highways in my metro area?" Google Maps nails it and Apple Maps doesn't, it's that simple.
Don't think Apple maps is as good outside of US
