Apparently the Google maps app on ios is very terrible
Friend of mine showed it to me on a quite recent phone and it’s super stuttery and laggy when scrolling around

That’s kinda funny considering what garbage applemaps was when it launched.

This isn’t my experience, and I had a iPhone 12 Pro up until a couple of weeks ago. Google Maps generally ran alright that I can remember.
On the newest phones it’s really smooth, but those phones also have enough horsepower to make pretty much any app run smoothly.

Honestly I wouldn’t care about the stuttering and sluggishness.
As much as I hate Google, I will have to admit that Google Maps is one of the best pieces of software ever to exist. I try to use Organic Maps and OSMand but Google Maps is just much upto date, has reviews, has real time traffic updates along with road closures. OSM based maps and Apple Maps is way way way way way behind — atleast in my country.

I actually do when I am using my car that doesn’t have a smart system/android auto/carplay. The reason is that it will ping/vibrate my watch when I am getting close to a turn or action. That way I know something is coming up. Thats about the only time I use it.

Honestly, I use it all the time now since I plug in my phone to my car and it’s right there.
It’s fine. Sometimes I use Google Maps. It’s also fine.
I actually like Apple’s approach to describing when to turn. It’ll say stuff like “go past this light and turn at the next” instead of vague shit like “in 1000 feet turn right.” Bitch, I don’t have a tape measure.
I think people who grip about Apple Maps as it is today probably just haven’t used it and want to gripe for griping sake.
