Apple Maps vs. Google Maps

I almost entirely use Apple Maps. I live in a large city so the data is very accurate. And I only really use it for driving, so I can't compare transit, hiking trails, etc. When I travel to less populated parts of the country Google Maps is far more accurate and complete. That's the only difference I've noticed.

Google Maps is pretty good for transit and pretty bad for hiking trails. Can't speak to Apple Maps. While imperfect, OpenStreetMaps is fairly reliable for hiking trails, including unofficial ones, in populated areas of the US at any rate.

Exactly the same experience in Germany. I use Google Maps for driving directions and OSM for everything else.

I recently had GM tell me to go the wrong way up a one-way street; OSM knew better.
