Apple Maps feels more polished than Google Maps todayĪs someone who is routinely switching between Android and iOS, I had to try Apple Maps to see if the grass on the other side really is greener. About a decade after its launch, the service has become a viable alternative to Google's service, and the Californian company needs to look out to not fall behind. When using my iPhone, which I carry on me to have a point of comparison with an Android phone, I was very much impressed by how much I prefer Apple Maps in many circumstances. Since then, a lot has changed, and for people living in the Apple ecosystem, Apple Maps has become a viable alternative to Google Maps.

Experience with apple maps is comparatively better but google maps on iphone were traditionally more trusted for me which only recently started acting funny. I choose the shorter route (which was not even an optional route in google maps at this time) and google maps kept reminding me to take de-tour and go to route recommended by google maps, I was surprised there were no problems in the shorter route and that ended up saving more than an hour of travel, Similar experiences are more frequent these days and that too on simple highway routes.

I had some bad experiences with google maps in last couple of years, I do not know what is the exact reason but I have seen google maps giving vague rote suggestions way too often now (no issues with preferences selected) giving routes with longer distance/more time consuming/narrow lanes.
