> Google Maps is still undoubtedly better, but Apple have been working hard on it.
The big difference is that Apple only allows Apple to make things better, where Google allows the world to do its work for it.
Example: The URL for the Boston subway system (the T) is "mbta.com". Nearly every single T stop showed up as "mTBa.com" in Apple Maps when it was released.
In the intervening time, they've fixed maybe 1/3 of the stops to be the correct URL - and almost all of that 1/3 in the last two months. (I've been watching, because I thought it was interesting.)
First of all, you'd think if they fixed one, they'd fix all of them.
Second, this is the sort of thing that when you report it to Google Maps team gets fixed within DAYS.
Again, Google has had a lot longer to get this right. I still use Google Maps whenever possible but Apple are hiring for multiple positions in my country for Maps staff shows they're at least /trying/ when we don't even have an Apple store.
