When Apple launched the service for the first time Maps as part of iOS 6, the service was a laughing stock for everyone because it was not reliable and to be navigated by the service Apple Maps sa jajedeniu in GTA style as well. In short, it has led to some curious cases, such as that Australian police had to search for lost people in the Australian outback, where the density of deadly poisonous spiders and other creatures is approximately 5 per square meter. Besides, you might have that Apple Maps they will take the task "To the airport" literally and you will exit the highway straight to the landing area, as a man in Alaska did it. But Apple he has already worked at the service, so they can get along Apple Maps use as a suitable alternative to Google maps.
There is even a service today Apple Maps the most used map service on iOS and the company has confirmed that its own mapping service is now used by three times as many users as the app Google Maps pre iPhone. So success comes with oneby seasoning, but it looks like that Applu managed to bring his map service to the state it should be in. It's just a shame that it happened Applu succeeded only three years after the launch. As for competing apps, we've already seen how Here maps got into App Storu, they disappeared from it and later reappeared in it, and we also witnessed that Google Maps after removing them from iOS was a good idea. Already at the time when Google released the application, the number of users of the system increased iOS 6 up to 29%, which is a really significant jump - which, however, was taken care of by Google, since the new iPhones had already been sold at that time.
Apple the report goes on to say that every week its servers record more than 5 billion requests related to map services - that is, requests for navigation or to find a specific place. The service itself uses data from more than 3 providers, regardless of whether they are large companies or smaller local businesses that have provided Applu specific and especially up-to-date maps. In addition, it is linked to services such as Mail or Yelp, which provide useful information about various businesses, including photos and reviews. The service itself is then still connected with Siri, which further helps its expansion in the world. Well, at least in the world of users iOS, as the service is only available here. However, maps as such continue to be ruled by Google, whose service has twice as many users in the US alone Apple Maps.

Nothing wrong.. but for me this application is more of a pain than a laugh.
Agree Google maps are completely different!
Clearly, Google maps are on a completely different level than Apple maps. It probably can't even be compared. I've tried it a few times though Apple he disappointed me in this regard. I'm not saying that I Apple the maps in the Tatras led 6 km in the opposite direction, or when we went to a barbecue with friends, Apple navigated to a neighboring village. I'm talking about Google accuracy in navigation. Almost every hotel, shop, castle, mansion, cultural and social place is in Google maps. He can even find information about these places, photos, ratings, phone contact there. And shapes. So Apple Maps thumbs down and Google thumbs up. Maybe they are in America Apple maps better. Unas clearly very bad.
Not to mention that many places in the Czech Republic are black and white and under clouds in the satellite view. Unfortunately, this situation has been the same since the launch of the service in 2012.
I gave apple I map theanceven after the update to iOS 9, but when they sent me to the left at one of the big intersections in Ostrava, when the only direction ordered was straight ahead, I completely rejected them. Since then, I have been using them exclusively again. google maps or purchased sygic :)
In matters see I agree with the above, but in my opinion Apple Maps They lead in 3D satellite views of Prague's buildings and the square, and I think Brno too. Google is behind in that. Or am I wrong?
Okay, but that's only a pretty thing to look at, but not so much practical.
He's not that good because of that Apple maps, but in that AM is included in the base and there is no need to install it, unlike Google, and Google doesn't offer that many benefits, and if you want specific maps, you go to Waze, Lista and similar things. Proyou are a 16GB user iphoneThey won't have 4 map applications, but only AM and what they use for navigation if they use something specific.
Claim Apple it's probably true, but ridiculous. I myself returned from a holiday in Rome last week and after two days of use Apple maps I just gave up and went back to Google maps. Accuracy, overview, response to changes in direction… it all works in Google maps better.
I think the maps are from Apple that's cool, here in Slovakia I haven't had a single problem with them when using them and they were fine 100%. Of course satellite images are bad, but I don't need them for navigation and I like that they are simple and that Apple fit Otherwise, I also have Waze, for more complex navigation, which is unrivaled.
I use both. At one time I used more than one. google maps, but what bothers me about them is that when I use navigation, sometimes it's not entirely clear where I should go and a few times I've taken the wrong turn because it just wasn't clear. It's definitely better for navigation apple maps. It's clearer, nicer and faster. If I can't find something on apple maps find, I'll find it as soon as possible google maps and then I'll switch back to apple maps and I navigate. I enjoy navigation and I also use navigon, tomtom, waze and HERE.
AMs are not at the same level for the Czech Republic as Google maps
PS: are there really 5000 poisonous spiders and other creatures per square meter in the Australian outback? They probably have to stomp on them in the hooves! :-)
