Issues I have with Apple Maps: no cycling directions and, to a lesser degree, overall slightly-worse-quality and less intuitive visuals, like lacking first-person point-of-view or not updating starting point and estimates if I move when displaying directions.

Of course, there's an element of me having gotten too much used to Google Maps in some of this.

> lacking first-person point-of-view

You mean street view? Apple Maps is slowly rolling out their version.

I mean displaying from the point of view of you walking or driving. It simply shows a birds-eye view (unless I'm somehow glossing over a toggle somewhere?).
Two finger swipe up and down changes the perspective.
