Huge!

But the bigger surprise is that there's literally nothing in it that I care about despite being an iOS user.

Also, multiple stops on Maps? That's Google maps 15 years ago.

Doesn't really matter if Google Maps had it first, I like Apple Maps more and I'm excited for the feature.

Google Maps UI is a mess - only real advantage is (usually) better POI data. Routing quality is the same in my experience.

I finally swapped to Apple maps permanently. Was ~okay with giving Google my data because it's routing was better, but now Apple is on par, there is no reason to continue to use Google maps.

As someone who tries to avoid Google products more and more, I'm glad they improve Apple Maps. I have zero Google app installed on my iPhone today, but Google Maps is the one I'm the most tempted to use occasionally. I use it in the browser instead but the experience sucks.

On my side I'm kinda excited about live notifications, it looks cool for food deliveries.

15 years ago? Wow! Seeing Google Maps came out 17 years ago, that’s really early in their lifetime!
