In that light, I may be hard pressed to call it a debacle, but it’s still third-rate.

Currently I'm using Garmin's version of OpenStreetMap + an overlay for the Dutch cycle path network [1] on my watch.
[1] If you are in the Netherlands, this is a gem: https://planner.gps.nl/download.php?toolid=1 . Download the device version, copy it to your Garmin gpsr or Watch and you have a very nice overlay of the cycle network with nodes (knooppunten), etc.

Not sure how that isn't a debacle:
"The product wasn’t ready," Cook, who will step down as CEO in September, said during an Apple town hall on April 21, Bloomberg reported. "We apologized for it and we said, 'Go use these other apps. They're better than ours.' And that was a humble pie. But it was the right thing for our users."

(Bloomberg site paywalled, so used a non-paywalled source quoting Bloomberg)
Only reason to use Google nowadays for me is travel in countries where neither Apple nor OSM have good coverage.
