Yep I’m Apple Maps for navigating but google maps for reviews on places. Apple Maps still uses freaking yelp. It’s ridiculous.
Comment on Apple Maps will finally be getting offline downloads
LifeInOregon@lemmy.world 1 year agoI find that Apple Maps gives very solid arrival estimates. When I used Google Maps it always seemed to over or undershoot the length of time it would take me to get where I was going in the moment. I also find that Apple’s voice guidance seems to be better and clearer about what it wants you to do. I switched over to it exclusively about two years ago.

Offline maps are a little above a “nice to have” feature for me. However, I think it makes it worth giving it another solid try for a few weeks. I’ll check it out as soon as iOS 17 hits.

Apple maps will actually suggest storing offline maps if an area you’ll be going through is known to have bad cell service. Not sure how they’re determining where there’s bad service.

Probably from carrier coverage maps

That or tracking anonymous data from people’s phones. Hopefully if that’s it they go based on if the maps actually load instead of just bars because there’s plenty of places with good signal but unusable data due to congestion.
