    Poll: Preferred Maps App in 2024 - Apple vs Google vs Others

    Curious on where the community stands on maps app usage these days. I couldn’t be a bigger Apple fanboy, but I still can’t come around to switching to Apple Maps. Most of my non-tech friends though do prefer Apple Maps which I find interesting. For me — something about the location search...

    CarPlay Road trip through National Parks in the US West. CarPlay: Apple Maps or Google Maps?

    We'll be driving from Southern California to West Yellowstone, MT and back. I like the interface of Apple Maps and traditionally use it day to day, but prefer the historical data of Google Maps (and other features like 'add stop'). Which maps app would you use with CarPlay and why?

    CarPlay No verbal directions using Google Maps CarPlay

    We have found that if we use Google maps for CarPlay it provides turn by turn directions on the car screen but no verbal instructions. If I switch to Apple maps I get verbal instructions. Any ideas why and how to fix? Anyone else getting this? Thanks

    Waze and Google Map in CarPlay voice not working

    when I connect to CarPlay I can’t use the mic in the app to do a search. I have enabled mic access for the apps. Makes them kind of useless if I can’t use voice commands. I hope I am missing something obvious.

    Import Google Maps starred places into Apple Maps?

    I assume the answer to this is "it's can't be done" but I thought I'd ask anyway. I have about 400 saved/starred places in Google Maps. Is there any way to: 1. Export this data from Google Maps. 2. Then import it into Apple Maps?

    When I say "true GPS" I mean the ability to function independently of a data service in conjunction with a mapping program like Google maps? Driving from Porto to Lisbon airport, I was running a bit late, and ran past the precise ending hour for my data package with the SIM chip in my Vodaphone...
