Here in New Zealand, Apple Maps is more or less on par with Google Maps with a lot of variability in different areas. I switched from Apple to Google about a year ago and to be honest even if Google Maps is sometimes better than Apple, it's not always better. There are times I wish I had access to Apple Maps as they actually have better data (or in some cases they have data while Google has nothing at all to show) in certain areas. New roads for example take ages (sometimes in the order of years) to show up on Google whereas they're on Apple relatively quickly.
