Apple Maps, as it is today, is so much better than Google Maps. The UI is way more polished than Google Maps. The Google UI looks like it is designed by committee - it is so ugly and dense. I find it really offensive.

The Apple Maps has better directions for my city at least. The Google one re-directs me through side streets and weird turns into traffic crossing lanes at the last minute.




I agree, the only thing that's still better is google maps reviews for restaurants, just because of the sheer amount of users compared to yelp (worldwide). But I really dislike google maps reviews UI


You're getting downvoted but honestly I'd agree insofar as the UI.

Google Maps is loaded with suggested content. What about lunch? Need a haircut? Check out these top rated places!! Would you recommend Google Maps to a friend or colleague?

Apple Maps is like what Google Maps was years ago: a map and a search box.


Sometimes I really do want to find somewhere to eat lunch at though - i.e. Google maps minus some of the webshit is reasonably good at being a centrally dense place for all that informatjon


Agree but GP's point is that the launch was terrible.


Nowadays, when I want to screenshot the place in the lap, I use Apple’s. Google Maps has so much stuff that the actual map gets eclipsed.
