I find Apple Maps to mostly be better -- it gives me better warning of where I need to turn and what the street name is. Or used to. Have not used Google Maps in some time except for a few minutes here and there. I do have a Shortcut on my iPhone where when an event with an address is in my calendar I can have it jump to either Apple or Google. I should try Google again to see how they are growing. I did see where they have not just the speed limit but your current speed. Could be seen as something unneeded on the screen, but it is good to see both in the same place. -- It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.
