Apple map is a disaster. Since I can't delete it, I create a folder named "never use" and toss it there. I doubt the effort of using drones will help them to catch up with Google map, which also making huge progress lately. It's still an effort that Apple needs to commit though.
Feel the same here. I had a terrible experience with Apple map when they first launched to market and never trust it ever since. I use Google map before trying Apple map and after the Apple map disaster until now. Will never change again.
Is it the directions or the UI that bothers you? I don't have an iDevice so I don't have much experience with Apple's map application, but I know my friend prefers it because the intersection/lane guidance stuff is more clearly presented, and the directions always seem pretty reasonable.
OTOH, Google Maps always seems to give me the weirdest directions. It usually puts me pretty close to my destination, but it often has weird ideas about side roads and shortcuts. Maybe that's just because I moved to an area with terrible drivers, and Google derives trains their software with vacuumed-up user data.
