Apple Maps is fairly good in the US. Not in Europe, it sent me to the wrong place a couple of times.

However, directions on Google Maps has been corrupted by Waze - it tends to save you a tiny bonus of time by sending you in weird paths or simply cheating (using the exit lane on a cloverleaf to bypass traffic). Super frustrating and panic inducing if you aren't familiar with the area.

Maps is a pretty app. That’s what Apple is good at.

But the backend is just plain bad. Searching for common landmarks nearby provides suggestions from 1000s of km away.
