I use Apple maps because my car has Carplay and apple doesn't allow any other map provider. It still has issues finding locations and maps me to the wrong location. In LA, being a mile off can easily result in 1/2 hour delay or more. It also lags on construction closures updates(eg: exit closure) which are common in LA, unlike google products which gets up-to-date data from Waze. Apple maps needs to be perfect all the time to be viable.

Until Apple fixes all their issues, they need to allow other map providers for Carplay.

iOS 12 has an API that 3rd-party maps apps can use to show up in CarPlay
