All Maps apps have issues, it's not the easiest problem in the world to solve. I have no doubt Google Maps is better. But I also have no doubt that Apple should get megakudos for Apple Maps, even in countries where it works worst at least it's an option that doesn't require you being tracked.

I really, really wish they would have bought Waze. It was a big coup for Google to buy them up. Had Apple bought Waze, Apple maps would be much better today.

I’m pretty sure Waze never had their own maps, so that wouldn’t have helped Apple at all. And it would have only been a small aquihire since the Waze UI is too opinionated and non-Appley to be the default maps app anyway.

Waze started out as a community-based map building startup. They had their own maps.
