I've actually found Apple Maps navigation when driving (though not just for looking up stuff) generally better than Google's in most of the above situations — particularly with regard to getting in the correct lane, multi-exit roundabouts (Ireland!!), and warnings for upcoming turns at the correct times.
Apple Maps did route me up a to the top of a mountain on a single-lane two-way road in France, but I had "avoid tolls" enabled so it might have been my fault. Can't say it wasn't scenic though.
The search, however, is absurd! It does constantly return places on the other side of the planet! And God-forbid you misspell anything by a single character. I wish there was a plugin for Apple products that would just return the "Did You Mean" result from a Google search. I'd gladly trade a little bit of privacy for crowdsourced spellcheck at this point.
