I really questions people's decision making process when I see them on Apple Music or Apple Maps
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
But the alternative for Maps is Google, and the last thing I want to do is give them a bead on my current location and all the places I want to go and explore. With Google's ownership of so much information, I think anybody avoiding Google Maps is very well justified.
However, in the early days of Google Maps, when MapQuest was still around and before cars had in-dash navigation, Google Maps did give me bad directions for driving, that I had printed out, and made me late. I still ended up using Google Maps, and they got better.
I will still use Google Maps to discover biking routes in unfamiliar areas, so I do give up my location to them occasionally, but in my experience that's the only edge that Google Maps has these days.
