People actually use Apple Maps?
Here in Cali I’ve noticed it’s actually better. Google Maps has been ass for the last 4 years for me. Wrong data, it takes me randomly off the freeway only to loop my back and put me right back where I got off. It has completely wrong traffic data, and it has road closures it thinks are still open. When I travel around the bay for work I mostly use Apple Maps.
I experienced the same glitches that everyone else did when it first launched but it’s been perfectly fine for years. My gf’s android Google Maps will routinely have us make several turns just to end up on the same road we were already traveling on so navigation is done on my phone and the playlist on hers.
Yeah, the first time it happened on Google Maps I thought it was just an issue with like that small section of bridge/overpass, but then it did it again and I was just stuck in the same traffic but now even further behind. It was incredibly odd. By like the 4th time I was like “ok, if I don’t stop using you then it’s on me for being so frustrated.”
I do because it currently doesn't have ads
yes my ex does, why i dunno lol
Switch a while ago from Google Maps. It’s pretty damn great.
