I only have apple maps on my iPhone but my friend recently suggested I should install Google maps as apparently it’s better? Xx

Google Maps. I just prefer it. No idea why but I do

BaileySharp · 08/08/2022 15:53

Everyone on android will be using Google

Google, apple maps never even worked on my Iphone.

BringOnSummerHolidays · 08/08/2022 15:55

Apple maps when walking and waze when driving. I don’t find google maps better. They are just different.

Yajebbend · 08/08/2022 15:55

Waze is the best one

ChristmasCurry · 08/08/2022 15:56

Google Maps, but recently discovered that Bing Maps has an ordnance survey layer which is very useful.

Waze, I find it better than Google maps.

SnarkyBag · 08/08/2022 15:57

I’ve just started using the Waze app. Much better than Apple or Google maps

Minicequeen · 08/08/2022 15:58

Will look at Waze as lots suggesting it

I use Google maps with no probs, but I've an Android, so I have no choice.

IceStationZebra · 08/08/2022 15:58

Download google maps and see what you think?

For me, I use google a lot so it’s useful to link everything together. Places I’ve been, hotels I’m due to stay in, etc.

I think Apple instructions are far superior. I got lost when google said stay left. I actually had to drive into the middle of a roundabout and then turn left. But generally they are similar though I think Apple update accidents and closures more quickly.

im on a iphone and much prefer google maps

I have an android and use Waze.

Google. Find it more user friendly and internet searches pull up directions via google maps. Only Facebook marketplace seem to ask for Apple maps - plus google maps.

KrisAkabusi · 08/08/2022 16:13

For all those saying Waze is better than Google maps, it's owned by google, so there's really no difference other than how it looks. It uses the same base maps and information.

MarthaJonesPhone · 08/08/2022 16:14

I've got an iphone and use Google maps. Its vastly superior in numerous ways. Just download it and see what you think. You can always delete it if you're not keen.

NC1843 · 08/08/2022 16:33

iPhone and Google maps here too.

gotelltheoldmandowntheroad · 08/08/2022 17:02

I use Google maps because any other app I open it just looks wrong. I like the colours on Google maps and everything is just really clear. I used to carry round an A to Z so this is just a natural follow on, set out in a similar way and it's clear where you are going. As someone who has difficulty with co-ordination and directions, that's what works best for me.

oviraptor21 · 08/08/2022 17:05

I used Waze for a while but found it less reliable and less user friendly than Google Maps.
