Even a few years ago I preferred the way a few-block area was represented on Apple Maps vs Google Maps. Apple Maps seemed to be much better at showing relevant landmarks and business names, where Google Maps would randomly select some businesses that happened to have an address there, but often no signage, etc.

Both applications would select the same number of businesses to show (obviously not showing ALL names due to density restrictions on the screen and clutter), but the Google ones were just so painfully arbitrary, and Apple's building skeletons seemed a lot more relevant/recognizable.
