I consider Apple maps to be trash most everywhere I use it, which is the American midwest. Last time i searched for "lawnmower repair" in my area it netted one result. I believe there's more than a dozen within ten minutes of me though. I normally have to look something up in Google Maps (where i keep location services disabled), then copy and paste the address into Apple Maps for Carplay.

The other day when watching a Silicon Valley rerun I couldn't help but laugh because they said "is it Apple maps bad?" and i thought "THAT JOKE HASN'T AGED BECAUSE IT'S STILL TERRIBLE."

On the flipside Google maps gives me all kinds of local business number to services that either do not exist or are definitely not local. Pairs nicely with street view images of destructed empty space overgrown with brush.
