My experience in Singapore is that Google Maps trumps Apple Maps on finding points of interest. However with driving directions Apple is a lot easier to follow. Apple tends to alert at better points before turn and also give more precise information about the turn. Example would be the number of the exit from the express way. So I've resorted to finding the address in Google and then using Apple for the directions.

I would agree with all those points, except that Apple Maps regularly gives straight up wrong directions in terms of the infrastructure. I know of one interchange near Chicago where it consistently presents as "you need to veer right to proceed on this highway" where it's actually the left lanes you need and they spur right afterward. I've never had a similar error out of another navigation app or service.
Apple Maps once lead me to a highway ramp on the wrong side.
