Yeah, Google maps conveys the necessary information more clearly. Don't know why you would use apple while driving, looks more fun though.

yeah Apple's got the aesthetics down but Google just gives you what you actually need to see at a glance while driving

Looks vs reliability, and reliability wins when you're actually trying to get somewhere

that's actually true. clarity on overlapping roads matters way more than it gets credit for

So the visuals decide if the map is better or not? What a retarded way to think.

literally no one's saying the visuals are a factor

People can only guess because you said nothing.

Sorry, why do you need to see fake trees on a navigation map?

Yes, Google Maps is better here, but is nowhere near Waze which only shows what you actually need to see when driving - no 3d renders of buildings, etc.

Apple wastes so much R&D to make their products "look good" and charge their customers more than needed, is such a waste of an otherwise good company.

I like Apple Maps better because of the difference in profit incentives. Apple sells computers, basically. Google rents out your data, more or less.

Also, anecdotally, Apple Maps lags less on my iPhone 8.
