It feels like you have to choose between Google Maps, with up to date information but an ad-riddled, not-useful interface, or Apple Maps, with a simpler map interface but worthlessly unreliable information.

Looking for a place to eat in downtown SF always requires sifting through multiple listings for "permanently closed" restaurants that have indeed been closed, for a decade. Why do those still need to appear on the default view?

On the other hand, a new record store just opened up in North Beach recently - already on Google Maps but, of course, still missing on Apple Maps this weekend.

I'll choose the map system that actually works... maybe I'm alone but I don't remember ever being served an ad in Google Maps.

I think businesses can pay to show up at lower zoom levels?

In my opinion the "Latest in the Area" screen using 30% of real estate by default when you launch the app is an ad, regardless of whether the businesses featured there actually pay Google or just show up there randomly.

You can have as many map apps on your phone as you like, then use the right app for what the right occasion. So Google Maps to find a restaurant, Apple Maps or Waze for driving, etc. No need to choose.
