Apple Maps is still such a sucky service, at least where I live and where I travel to.

It regularly directs me to incorrect addresses and businesses and labels places obviously incorrectly.

Every use of the search function promotes guide content for a single city I'm not currently in, with no way to configure or turn them off. Good products should go out of their way to annoy you IMHO.

They only managed to get their cycle routing for the UK and Ireland working in 2025 after years and years of complaints.

I'm not a fan of Google but I feel compelled to keep Google Maps because Apple Maps is still so unreliable.

I'd offer the balance here that I still don't enjoy using Android and generally prefer iOS to it, warts and all.

Google Maps regularly sends contractors, delivery drivers, etc to a blocked off utility "road" that has never allowed traffic. Apple Maps doesn't. I've given up reporting the problem to Google. (And besides, Google eventually took away the report feature from either desktop or mobile, I forget which, telling me their engineers don't care at all about quality.)

So at least for me Apple Maps wins.
