Whotf even used Apple Maps lol
~~Losers~~ People deep in the apple ecosystem. There's a surprising number these days.
Apparently the Google maps app on ios is very terrible
Friend of mine showed it to me on a quite recent phone and it's super stuttery and laggy when scrolling around
That's kinda funny considering what garbage applemaps was when it launched. Google just had to not screw up and I guess they did.
Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted for like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.
I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.
A little strange that you think Samsung makes Android phones.
Honestly I wouldn't care about the stuttering and sluggishness.
As much as I hate Google, I will have to admit that Google Maps is one of the best pieces of software ever to exist. I try to use Organic Maps and OSMand but Google Maps is just much upto date, has reviews, has real time traffic updates along with road closures. OSM based maps and Apple Maps is way way way way way behind — atleast in my country.
This isn't my experience, and I had a iPhone 12 Pro up until a couple of weeks ago. Google Maps generally ran alright that I can remember.
On the newest phones it's really smooth, but those phones also have enough horsepower to make pretty much any app run smoothly.
