re: How's Apple Maps doing lately?

The reality is that Apple Maps was never really that bad. Was it as good as Google Maps? No. Is it now as good as Google Maps? Still probably no.

I've used it since it was in private beta in the developer program. I've only ever once encountered a problem with it, when it was in beta, it brought me to a dead end on my route through a neighborhood. Google Maps didn't exist on iOS at that time, so I had to manually look at the map and figure my way around. Later that night I looked on Google Maps on my computer and it had the same bad mapping data.
