It was terrible when it first came out. Has it really changed?

For instance, a nearby road intersects with another road at a cloverleaf. The exits are marked road2 North and road2 South just a short distance from each other.

But apple maps directions just said "exit right road2" or something like that. I submitted a change at the very beginning and it never changed. I could probably check again.

In general dedicated systems are WAY better at these things, probably because you don't want to piss off a paying customer (who may be a car manufacturer)

My new Audi built in nav is far worse than Apple Maps. Just an anecdote, but still a data point. Many car navs use aging Tom Tom data.

I recently bought a garmin portable gps for a car without nav and it's really quite good.

Very clear directions when navigating, shows you and tells you which lane to be in, live traffic, touchscreen interface, voice command. Everything is offline so it's more private than apple :)
