This is purely anecdotal, but I've used apple maps twice this year (accidentally - search for maps and hit the wrong icon) and it's taken me to the wrong place both times. I live just outside of a major metropolitan area; suburban but not rural by any stretch of the imagination.

I've never had Google Maps take me to the wrong place. At the end of the day, getting where I want to go is the primary concern. If they product doesn't work consistently then I'm just not going to use it. Hopefully my experience is not typical.

I've been so astounded by Apple Maps' consistently bad routing that I actually have a recurring todo item every three weeks that says "Try Apple Maps". It has fired 37 times so far, and out of those 37 times that I've tried it (each time I wait until I have a not-used-before destination to try with), Maps has routed me to the wrong place (and I only count it as wrong if it's more than, say, a mile away) 11 times.

"My days of not taking Apple Maps seriously are definitely coming to a middle."

If Google maps (I presume) is working well enough for you, why are you trying so hard to switch to Apple Maps? :)

Mainly for my own amusement, and partially for Siri integration.

Four years after its release, Apple Maps still puts my address in the wrong location.

Whenever I have a Lyft or Uber driver come to my house to pick me up, I always have to text them "please only use Google Maps, do not use Apple or Waze" (Waze has its own issues, which I've written about before).

Have you tried using the "Report a Problem" feature? The last few times I did so, I got pleasantly quick responses (well, quick by huge company standards, i.e. a week or so).

I don't own any Apple products. My problems with Apple Maps come from Uber and Lyft drivers using it.

What, do I go to the Apple Store just so I can report a problem with an iPhone there? Will it even work since I don't have an Apple account to do it with?

Apple Maps had completely missed a reworking of a major intersection in Kalamazoo, MI, which was fairly confusing. On the other hand, Google Maps drains my battery like mad unless I force it to quit, so I don't even open it anymore.
