Honestly, I use it all the time now since I plug in my phone to my car and it's right there.
It's fine. Sometimes I use Google Maps. It's also fine.
I actually like Apple's approach to describing when to turn. It'll say stuff like "go past this light and turn at the next" instead of vague shit like "in 1000 feet turn right." removed, I don't have a tape measure.
I think people who grip about Apple Maps as it is today probably just haven't used it and want to gripe for griping sake.
I actually do when I am using my car that doesn't have a smart system/android auto/carplay. The reason is that it will ping/vibrate my watch when I am getting close to a turn or action. That way I know something is coming up. Thats about the only time I use it.
~~Losers~~ People deep in the apple ecosystem. There's a surprising number these days.
Apparently the Google maps app on ios is very terrible
Friend of mine showed it to me on a quite recent phone and it's super stuttery and laggy when scrolling around
That's kinda funny considering what garbage applemaps was when it launched. Google just had to not screw up and I guess they did.

Thereby ensuring I never begin using it.
Wow, so brave.
Courage.
I'm sure that will really annoy all seven people that use it...
Still not serious about their maps eh.
you say that like google doesn't do this even worse.
I still remember all those Apple Maps memes.
I don’t know if it’s my phone or wifi, when home, but Apple Maps will often be incredibly slow, or just refuse to display tiles when I zoom in or out. Particularly if I change the zoom by quite a bit in one action. It’s very frustrating.
