I still can't help but always reach for Google Maps by default because it just seems most likely they'd have the most up to date traffic information from all the Android users they're constantly tracking. I don't think Apple really has access to that data?
I live in a smaller city in Canada so I just don't know how Apple would figure out when there's construction or roads blocked off to route me around those things. Google Maps seems to get it done cause of all the live user tracking they do.
