I'm in Adelaide, Australia and I've never had this problem; I get maps within a second on both iOS and macOS, ADSL and LTE (Telstra in both cases).

(As an aside, from what I've heard, public transport support being terrible in Vic is mostly on PTV's head, not Apple or Google.)

Strange - I just tried Maps on my Mac again and it was ~20s from the window opening to a map appearing (but much quicker when zooming out/in). I’m on TPG ADSL, which is usually able to stream 4K Netflix/YouTube with very few problems. But as I said, even the Macs in JB HiFi and the Apple store take a long time to load Maps, and I’ve had the same delays in Tasmania as well.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if PTV bureaucracy had something to do with it but it’s not as though they themselves are bad at technology, given their own app has been able to track trams and some buses for years...
