I've found some errors (I made a thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=18050.msg2148184#msg2148184) about it), but other than the minor errors and the inability to drag routes (to see how much longer a specific way takes), I find no problem with Apple Maps.

What do you find wrong with it?

I've never heard of Apple maps. Does it suck as bad or worse than Google Maps?

It shows highway multiplexes that doesn't exist and it shows highways along roads that aren't really highways.

The old google maps is the gold standard and I have yet to find anything that rises to its quality.

The new Google Maps is pretty damn good. Have you used it?

I thought Apple Maps was pretty bad when it debuted, except for its unique and excellent feature of showing the real state route shields instead of generic circles or ovals, but it's improved a lot and I no longer have any issues with it. No longer does a search for "Williamsburg" result in a pin being dropped near Nicklas Backstrom's house in Arlington, Virginia!
