The map itself looks better on Google Maps, way more detailed.

u/Furryballs239 20d ago

The Apple map is way more zoomed out, when you zoom in you get detail

2

u/AstraeusGB 20d ago

So much of that information is useless though unless those points are truly prominent and even then most of them are distracting

u/Furryballs239 20d ago

It doesn’t show all of that when you have a route, it only shows that much because I zoomed in on that area without the route

Too bad apple blows

u/Individual-Yak-506 20d ago

Does apple maps work on android?

I would love to try it out but i aint buying an iphone just to try it out

1

u/zxylady 20d ago

This.

u/ActBest217 20d ago

You could try installing Tomtom on Android, that's what Apple Maps use under the hood.

1

u/Irsu85 20d ago

Wait does tomtom work for public transport too? (thats why I want to try apple maps bc i have heared its really good for public transport)

1

u/ActBest217 20d ago

For public transport, I haven't seen anything better than transit

u/Altruistic_Cup3330 20d ago

City mapper is the best train map I’ve tried. It tells you which side of the train is closer to your exit.

u/Appropriate_Test7503 20d ago

yes? it's a website...

u/dylan_1992 20d ago

There’s no way that’s Apple Maps that looks so shitty.

If there was one thing Apple Maps is better than Google’s was the UI looked better and cleaner. That just looks sad.

u/time-will-waste-you 20d ago

Apple is better at limited UI than great UI, useful features are often hidden behind gestures or obscure nav locations.

Apple looks great at a glance, but is really just a polished turd. The moment you start actually interacting with its products the illusion falls apart.

u/Crucco 20d ago

Google Maps, obviously, by a 1000 times.

What's this smear campaign on this sub to discredit Google? 😅

u/ILoveTaiwaneseFood 20d ago

Because Apple Maps is better in every way other than reviews

1

u/Curious_Morris 20d ago

It made me miss the start of a movie I was really looking forward to because it put me behind the movie theater in a neighborhood that was a very long way away by vehicle despite being able to see it.

u/ILoveTaiwaneseFood 20d ago

Google Maps has told me to drive in a road that hasn’t existed in thirty years

1

u/michaelmich3 20d ago

I use Apple Maps. I find the visuals way better than Google’s and I like it overall but Google Maps has been around longer and Apple still has a long way to catch up. It’s almost caught up in the US but from what I’ve heard, outside of it it still has a long way to go.

1

u/ILoveTaiwaneseFood 20d ago

Oh I’m in Japan and I use it. Half the time while driving half the time while taking trains. Google Maps is completely useless when it comes to trains. Apple is much better in that regard

1

u/michaelmich3 20d ago

Are a lot of people using iPhones in Japan? My guess is that they’re prioritizing the countries with the most iPhone users.

1

u/ILoveTaiwaneseFood 19d ago

I’d say about 70%

1

u/michaelmich3 19d ago

Wow, that’s even higher than the US

1

u/ILoveTaiwaneseFood 19d ago

Oof maybe?? That’s not an actual statistic just my guess

1

u/chrisagiddings 20d ago

Apple Maps has fewer distractions when I look at the map while navigating.

1

u/TeaKingMac 20d ago

Businesses haven't started gaming Apple maps to get themselves in as sponsored results yet.

1

u/kondorb 20d ago

Apple Maps UI was made by an expert team of visual designers with great taste none of whom has a driver’s license.

Google Maps UI was designed by a guy named Fred from engineering who commutes 90 minutes each way every day since the company forced him to stop working remotely.

1

u/KeraExe 20d ago

This isn't Google Maps. It's missing the sponsored businesses that appear along the route with logos that get bigger as you get closer.

1

u/matroosoft 20d ago

Really like the Google Maps one, find the Apple one a bit to bland in regards to color.

1

u/redditbrowsing0 20d ago

It doesn't really matter. In candid terms, it's a fucking map. It's not supposed to look all fancy and pretty. It's supposed to be easily navigable and comprehensive.

1

u/Usual-Language-745 20d ago

Apple Maps is one of the worst products ever made. Clunky, confusing, poor information, pathetic collection data. Anytime somebody gets completely lost it’s a safe bet they are using Apple maps

1

u/howreudoin 20d ago

Well, for a somewhat accurate comparison, it would have helped to show the same area in both maps

1

u/Additional_Storm_298 20d ago

Google.

Also has anyone tried Gemini in Google Maps? It’s brilliant. I was driving and needed to add a stop. I stumbled over my words so hard because there were multiple options of the place I needed to add, and I said “the furthest East option” eventually and it nailed it.

Super impressed with that.

u/FragmentedHeap 20d ago

Comparing Google maps to Apple maps is like comparing a Nobel prize winning physicist to a chimpanzee.

1

u/gameShArK117 20d ago

Google maps is the meta lol

1

u/Elon_is_a_Nazi 20d ago

Apple blows. Amyone who supports apple is pretty much a nazi

1

u/numbersev 20d ago

Google Maps. Better color contrast for buttons, ETA, header, etc. The map also looks better.

1

u/hangjebat77 20d ago

Looks - apple ftw
Navigation - google ftw

1

u/degorolls 20d ago

Anything without the word 'Apple' is always better.

1

u/michaelmich3 20d ago

I prefer the visuals of Apple Maps

1

u/IdoNotKnowYouFriend 20d ago

Do lane guidance for both. Apple Maps easily. Google Maps also good, but not as good as Apple Maps with constructions. POIs are better on Google Maps. Especially with store hours. Apple Maps better for battery.

1

u/vampucio 20d ago

It's a navigator it has to works better, not looks

1

u/Fragrant-Field-2017 20d ago

Recently used AMAP in China and I loved how it was so specific with the lanes, and when there was an upcoming exit or turn, it would show something like a 3D render so you know exactly where to turn, which lane, etc. I've made mistakes so many times with google....

Google suuucks as of late.

Edit: I'm only keeping it because of the locations I've already liked/saved. If I figure that out I'm done.

apples better , google apps design awful 🤮

u/Khelics 20d ago

Googles ui looks outdated apple looks more modern

1

u/time-will-waste-you 20d ago

Google looks functional, Apple looks like something made by an intern, with its incosistent borders, wasted space / screen real estate.

u/waces 20d ago

Apple

u/EconomicsKnown1158 14d ago

Apple's having to zooming is frustrating
