I remember when Apple Maps was a joke. These days it’s just simply better than google maps. Never thought I’d say that.

I switched to iPhone about 18 months ago and refused to use Apple Maps at first. I tried Apple Maps when they added offline maps (I live in rural NM and that is a must). I hardly use Google maps any longer now.

Getting a place updated in Apple Maps is proving to be a a little more difficult than it was in Google maps though.
