Ratings and Reviews
Recent change?
I have lived in WNY my whole life so rarely need actual directions but LOVE the Apple Maps for avoiding traffic jams, getting an ETA & sharing my ETA with friends… having said that - a couple things seem to have changed with recent updates that has dampened my experience with the app. 1. Most recently, maps is telling me to ‘turn’ a step in advance too soon. For example if I’m making a left and the next turn will be a right, I now get the announcement about the right just as I’m approaching the left instead of afterward (these are not short & consecutive turns). 2. My recent contacts no longer appear when I want to share my ETA, I have to type them in from scratch to search, and the results as I type don’t bring up my most common contacts either, it seems purely alphabetical as I type in each letter.
Another ‘issue’ that I have has never functioned properly - if I’m using maps for directions and someone else shares eta with me, I cannot accept theirs to see where they’re at unless I end my navigation. We’re always meeting at the same place in these scenarios, so it would be fantastic if I could somehow toggle back and forth between both instead of stopping mine to see theirs.
The best Maps App
Apple Maps is, without a doubt, one of the best navigation tools available today. It offers a range of incredible features that make getting from one place to another both simple and efficient. One of the standout features is its ability to display speed limits, helping drivers stay aware and safe on the road. Additionally, it provides real-time alerts for important details like the location of police officers or traffic jams, giving users the opportunity to adjust their driving accordingly. What makes it even more impressive is that Apple Maps doesn’t just notify you about traffic jams—it actively tries to reroute you to avoid them, ensuring you reach your destination as quickly as possible. By automatically offering the fastest route and allowing users to customize their journey by avoiding highways or tolls, Apple Maps helps save both time and money. It also excels in lane guidance, clearly showing which lane you should be in to avoid missing an exit or turn. This feature, combined with its visual cues on the screen, ensures you don’t even have to look at the map while driving, as the directions are seamlessly displayed for easy access. All of these features come together to make Apple Maps not just a good navigation app, but an exceptional one, surpassing other maps in terms of usability, accuracy, and user-friendly design. For all these reasons, Apple Maps truly stands out as a superior choice for navigation.
This map and google maps are good
I used Apple Maps when I brought this iPhone in 2022 and I saw the map app so I tried this app every time on the highways from Virginia to Nj and when I compared the mapping eta time apple map was the best one and it tell so much details than google maps or wave and I hate wave because there is Notting to explore or not tells details like google map or Apple Maps and the first time I tried New Jersey turnpike because of the apple map or I whould stick with I 95 and Pennsylvania turnpike extinction and in 2024 when I went to India this map was saying so much thing than google maps but the problem is it doesn’t show the toll price, speed limit or the toll require but when I reported a road close I a bridge it got updated after 10 day and that is good thing. Conclusion when I used both Google and apple map they both are good ,but I prefer Apple Maps because it has so any advantage than Google maps in my opinion but still I use google maps sometimes for city navigating which means I love Google maps also but I like Apple Maps more than Google map but still waze is the most one I hate.
