The only two Google services I still use are YouTube and Google Maps.
I use Google Maps as a local guide of sorts, because restaurant information (and information on other places) is often better compared to Apple Maps and other services. I didn't use it for navigation for years and the app is a bloated mess nowadays.
I would recommend giving Apple Maps a try again if you’re amenable. I get the same exact information on both these days.
Larger towns and cities? Yes. For smaller towns though it's a bit of a hit and miss. At least here in Germany.
I do live in a major metropolitan area. Thanks for the insight!
The satellite office of the company I work for isn't even listed on Apple Maps at all. It's been there for over 10 years. Fuck Apple Maps.
Name checks out.
I've heard a news tech podcast earlier in the year say Apple Maps is now on par with Google and is perhaps exceeding it since its disastrous breakaway from Google app those years ago.
