For years, Apple relied on Google Maps and then switched to its own version and caused disasters that prompted the company to fire the creator of iOS over Maps scandal Its time. However, with time, Apple Maps has improved dramatically. But despite these constant updates, I still prefer Google Maps; These are my reasons.
First of all, to be fair, the beauty of the design, colors, and XNUMXD graphics in Apple Maps is better than Google. I even prefer the satellite version of Apple over Google because of its true-to-life colors. But that's when I want to browse the map for fun. As for the practical performance, the situation is completely different.
1
More places: Perhaps this difference will not be felt by those who live in European countries or America. But in our Arab world, Google Maps provides dense data about stores and stores and their locations, so you can easily access what you are looking for.
2
Better information: This point differs from the previous one, so even if you find the place you are looking for in Apple Maps, you will find very few details about it and there is no comparison between it and Google Maps
3
Traffic density: A fatal feature in Google Maps, which is the main reason I open the application daily. When you live in an area like Greater Cairo, which has a population of 30 million, you have to think carefully about which road is suitable for your trip. One look at the Google app to see which way I move or stay at home :-).
4
Navigation: Egypt and Morocco are the only Arab countries that Apple supports in navigation to apply its maps for an unknown reason. So whoever lives in any other Arab country, his only option is Google Maps. But even if you live in Egypt, for example, due to the density of Google Maps data and information, you will prefer to use its navigation.
5
Crowded shopsA: Not many map users may know this feature. Sometimes I think about going to a store but I think is this a good time to shop or will the store be crowded. Simply what I do is search for the store and then swipe up to see the data, which will include the congestion in the store now, as well as an indication of the congestion on the days of the week and the timing to decide when to go.
6
times of work: A while ago I was thinking of going to a friend who lives near a government facility. Because I don't know the way, I searched for it and then asked Google to navigate to this place. Google told me before it started that we expect to arrive at such and such an hour, while this place closes its doors at such an hour, so am I sure that I want to go there and find it closed?
7
Place on the wayA new feature, but immersed in Google Maps, is that you can shop while navigating. For example, you go to visit a friend, but your car is running out of fuel. You can ask Google to choose the best route for your friend and at the same time there will be a gas station on this road. Or even choose a place from the map yourself. Open the application and choose your destination, then before clicking on the note, press the three dots next to your current location.
8
Always in the appIn Apple Maps, when you search for a place and want to see its image, you will find it close the Maps application and open Forsquire or Yelp to see the pictures there, even if this place is the headquarters of Apple itself !!! On Google, you will see the images directly inside the Google app. (Apple now provides Wikipedia pictures only without exiting the application).
9
Uber: When I select any location and see the road and traffic density. With one touch I can know how much it will cost me to get there with Uber. This is very useful, as sometimes the road is crowded and you hate driving in traffic, and you think about canceling your appointment, then you look at the cost of going to Uber and find it suitable, so you decide to leave your car.
last word
There are other advantages in the Google application, such as downloading maps, but unfortunately this feature does not support Arab countries, as well as those written in symbols "Japan, China, Korea and Thailand." So it was ignored.
Apple Maps is characterized by the provision of Wikipedia support for some places, as well as the beauty of the design in a difference from Google Maps in addition to that you see navigation in the lock screen, flight flayover in addition to some opening and closing dates for stores (specific countries). But what Google provides from advantages such as crowding, for example, there is no comparison between it and cosmetic advantages such as that offered by Apple.
When Google supports the use of the application without the net, it will be my first choice
Do not forget that Apple Maps can work without the Internet, and you can also locate a location on the map without the Internet or communication service and a lot of privileges
Now you can save the map for the Arab countries
Via disconnected areas
I delete maps
For me, Apple Maps is useless if it does not support navigation, so I use Google or here. In fact, I prefer it because it does not need the Internet and Google when I want to know the crowded street
Frankness remains only one thing ... which is that the Google service works without the need to be infected with the Internet ... Like Garmin Strips
Google is the best and I hardly ever use Apple Maps
Frankly, I do not know what the world would have been like if there was no Google company as a search engine, maps and other things, perhaps .. Apple, Google and also Samsung's ongoing competition is definitely in our interest, so Bin Sami continued.
For me as a resident of Phuket, my travels are mostly by car to and from Bangkok and I drive north of it Google is XNUMX% accurate
One of the best Google creations ever.
There is a hidden feature that the writer did not come upon, which is the timeline, which records all your locations wherever you are and is very useful to me when I want to go to a place I previously forgot.
As for our Arab countries, there is no comparison between Google and Apple Maps. Apple, in terms of knowing the roads and crowding, is much better, but in Morocco it works in a different way than what we are used to in our Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states and Egypt, as it works without a final sound and moves strangely.
As for Apple Maps, I used them in Morocco and there is nothing wrong with them, but their pronunciation in Arabic hinders them.
Is there a solution for Google Maps in Morocco?
Sorry, Google, in terms of knowing the roads and crowds, and not Apple was the intended purpose
The problem is that the quality of Android is in its service
Every operating system has excellence and quality
But Google Maps is very old compared to other maps
The Google Maps application is indispensable, I use it almost daily and the reason is the traffic congestion feature.
The main disadvantage of Apple when searching for a specific name, it is assumed that it is only one place, unlike Google, it assumes several options for you to choose between
I used Apple Maps outside the Kingdom .. The exciting feature is the navigation work in the lock screen mode .. Other than that, the Google Maps application is the undisputed best
When will Apple Maps work in Saudi Arabia?
Frankly, the best maps app without a dispute. I rely on it a lot, smooth and wonderful
For information, the feature to download maps is available for Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which are the only Arab countries with which this feature is supported
With all due respect to all, Apple Maps is the best one over Google Maps, and about its experience in searching for places that appear on Apple and the same places that do not appear on Google
Use Google Maps on a daily basis to find the best routes that are less crowded
Yes, I use all of my Apple products, devices and applications, except for Google Map, because it fully supports our logic, unlike Apple Maps.
One of the newly added features to Google Maps is to help choose the car's navigation lanes, the Lane Assistant, which is important in European and American countries, as some lanes in the road are planned to travel and take turns separately from the highway, a feature that was limited to GPS mapping devices such as TomTom, which is now Free in some countries such as England and Australia
In 2015 I was in America and my reliance was mainly on Apple Maps and it was excellent, but I don't know why Apple doesn't care about the Middle East region
The undisputed best app is HERE WeGo
Better than Google Maps, in stages and without the use of the Internet
For the first time, in Arabic only, download the map of the required country and the Arabic voice, and after that, sail as you want without a connection.
It is suitable for Android and Apple devices.
Agreed
Just like you, I am having fun looking at Apple Maps, but in serious time there is only Google Maps
What is the best map app for the Middle East that works using GPS and without internet?
The Sygic app is excellent, but it is paid
Here's Nokia's WeGo
Application Maps You can download a map of any country from then you can enjoy it for free
How to make the Maps application work without the Internet using GPS only?
If you are in America or Europe, you can download the maps, otherwise use the program here
I always say
Google Maps deserves a Nobel Peace Prize
You saved my life countless times
Google Maps is far better
Explicitly, Apple Maps is in my mobile. I will never pull them open
I totally agree with you for preferring Apple Maps over Google
I totally agree with you 👍
I do not know why Apple is ignoring the Arab countries, especially the UAE, which contains two stores for Apple, knowing that in the United Arab Emirates all the information is available in the designated agencies through the methods, and because Apple needs a lot to activate these features
The only drawback in Google Maps is the inability to save a region with a specific name or save it in the favorites with the name I chose ... There is only an option to save the area, which is useless if it is not addressed by the address of the user
Khaled, you can add a name to the place and a tag as well
Not correct, you can memorize the name and I tried it myself
Brother Khaled, you can save the place with the name you want
This defect fixed it
The disadvantage of your speed and street speed remained
I did not notice this amendment. Thank you guys for this information ... very important
On the contrary, this service is available and can be reserved by any name
For example, the house is always the house of my uncle so and so
Or any name you choose
