Apple Maps works great in the majority of cases in several high tech
cities in the United States I've frequented and inhabited. So I don't
mind the effort and actually enjoy what's there. For what's missing,
there are plenty of other options. Around 1-3 times a year I find myself
going to Google Maps - not all that often.
