Apple sent me to a rural cornfield once instead of a church where baptism was taking place. It was funny because we weren’t the only ones, everyone using Apple Maps was sent to the same cornfield.

These type of rare but common enough edge cases make me super hesitant to use it in the Midwest.

I was able to navigate the transit systems in Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama near-flawlessly with Apple Maps in 2018. I only recall encountering one correctness issue.

I have had a really good experience using Apple Maps for public transit. Earlier this year I went to NYC for the first time as an adult and it was super easy to use for finding which train to get on. Had a similar experience in Europe this fall as well.

Huh. Just used it fine for public transport in 8 European cities recently.

Google maps won’t even work properly when there’s no data.

Huh? Public transit has been better on Apple Maps. Does Google even have station entrances/exits yet?

depends on the city
