      i have noticed too, apple maps is absolutely superior to google. when we are navigating somewhere with gf, she uses apple maps with no issues while i can’t find shit with google maps…can’t remember this being a problem in the past.

      Ehhhhh I think Apple Maps is hit or miss depending on your area. In urban centers? I think Apple Maps gives superior directions.

      In more rural areas? I think Google wins.

      I haven’t tested out incident avoidance with Apple Maps as I haven’t used it since it guided me to the wrong address three years ago…

      Maybe it’s worth a second try
