Let's be honest here, all the apps are pretty much written for the Western world. The amount of revenue software products make from the non-western world is less than 5% of the total revenue.

I've never used Android. I'm providing my personal experience of these two tools on the platform I have.

Apple Maps is great because

1. the sign it shows actually matches the sign on the roads

2 UI is clean and clutter free

3. Takes less battery life

4. uses lock screen properly unlike gmaps

5. Better voice

Google Maps on the other hand is just a buggy app and a battery hog. However there're few things Google Maps does better

1. Which lane to use

2. Suggest new route mid route for faster speed

For me (in US) routes are exactly the same all the time.

>HN has diversity of opinions

Keep telling yourself that, HN is an echo chamber. Diversity of opinion is shunned. Anything that does not fit the SJW narrative will be down voted to death like this very comment.

He deserved it for using a random incident to blame the candidate he doesn't like. He is the kind of the guy who would say "Anyone who disagrees with me is only doing it to piss me off! Differences of opinion are proof of evil!"
