    Never Get Lost Again

    Date: Aug 06 2022

    Summary: Overall, I would suggest using Apple maps, especially if you are traveling in a new area and need a map system you can rely on.

    Positive: I love that you can use Apple Maps wherever you go, even when it comes to different countries. I lived in China for four months and Apple Maps got me everywhere I needed to go. It told me what trains to hop on, where to walk, etc.

    Negative: Sometimes Apple Maps has a hard time if an address and/or neighborhood is new. I thinks it takes the system a little bit to register those areas.

    - The interface of the maps is rich and modern, and it also supports street view for some locations.
    - It works on iOS, so its optimization with every Apple device is lag free and stutter free.

    Good but needs improvement

    Edited: Mar 16 2022

    Summary: Although I use Google Maps more than Apple Maps in my daily life, and Apple needs to improve Apple Maps for a country like India too and add some colorful animations and icons.

    Positive: - It has Good UI and Smooth working features also it is integrated with Siri commands, so the experience is a lot better.
    - since it is based on iOS, so the integration with the software is very helpful in smooth functioning of Apple Maps.
    - GPS works perfectly fine with Apple Maps and its satellite view is brilliant.
    - Consumes less battery than its competitors and fewer data too.
    - It is made by apple, so most of the data is stored in the device itself and not in any server, so it eliminates the concern of security.

    Negative: - It is less accurate in a country like India and may create confusion sometimes.
    - 3D street view does not work in India, and it is a major missing in Apple Maps, which pushes it far behind its competitors.
    - It has very basic icon styling like iOS, and it is not at all appealing to eyes.

    Pretty average GPS

    Date: Feb 01 2022

    Summary: Not a bad app. I prefer to use google maps over anything else but just cause I don't really have a lot of Apple products anymore.

    Positive: Nothing to rave about. Keeps maps pretty up to date. I like the offline feature while going across country, kept us from getting too lost.

    Negative: Doesn't always take you the best way, but it's never super out of the way. Sometimes the backroads are kind of a nice view.

    Apple Maps improves interaction with the map and new destinations.

    Date: Apr 16 2023

    Summary: Apple Maps has made me feel quite comfortable because it has made it possible for me to locate myself in real time while I am anywhere, this platform has been automatically installed inside all the iPhone devices that I have wanted for the last few years, and this is quite satisfactory since that I don't have to install any third-party map application, the phone automatically already has this application installed. This application has made it possible to view the map in a much more comfortable way, in addition, the tracking service is impressive, just by selecting a location you want to go to, the platform will always indicate the shortest path with less traffic, In addition, it also automatically marks the streets that you can use to reach your destination faster, this real-time monitoring service helps me to reach my destination, also, when I am in a place that I do not know, I can easily use this map and the application will automatically tell me through voice messages where I have to cross to reach my destination. In conclusion, I have felt a lot about how they are going to use this platform, I consider that it has a high potential to be able to become the best application for a map service, it only needs to improve a couple of things such as location sharing in third-party applications.

    Positive: Apple Maps is an incredible application to be able to be geographically located, with the help of this platform and your mobile device you will be able to detect any place just by looking at the map, in addition, the different functions that this platform has help you to have various types of map visualization in one place. One of the main things that I like about this application is the high quality with which the satellite display function is made, this display has a pretty good image print, which helps me to detect exact places on the map, also, It was colored, which helps the detection of specific places. Another important function of this application is the function of 3D and 2D, this function allows you to completely change the mobility within the map, and helps you feel more comfortable using one of the two available view forms. I really liked the system which allows you to visualize the map through a transport function, this function automatically detects the amount of transport that there is in the different streets and marks the streets with different colors to help you avoid traffic, very important to be able to reach a destination quickly. Another important function that Apple Maps has is that it has many places registered within the platform, which helps you identify the location of any type of store, place or tourist site, just by typing its name in the search engine, this applies to the vast majority of countries around the world, which helps you find specific places in a very short time.

    Negative: One of the main negative things that I managed to perceive about Apple Maps is that this platform to share the location through the WhatsApp application, on different occasions I have tried to share my location with some colleagues and friends and I have not been successful, since the application automatically sends my location to an unknown place and not to the place where I am correctly, in order to avoid this, I had to use the real-time location sharing, so that the application automatically detects my location in real time, but I do not recommend that a normal location is sent, since in most cases the map does not work correctly to identify a current location. Another negative aspect that I found in this platform is that it does not automatically detect the location of the devices that you have associated with your iCloud account, for example, if you have five phones or a senator linked to your same iCloud account, the map should show the location of all those devices in real time within this map, to help you locate the location of each device, but this does not happen to me within Apple Maps.
