    PSA: Apple Maps used to suck badly but now it’s way better than Google Maps.

      I’m sorry but as long as Apple Maps rely on and force you to install the Yelp app for reviews, I’m never using it.

      Bought iPhone last year.

      Tried Apple Maps the first week.

      Put in address to friend’s new condo building.

      Took me to a parking lot behind a grocery store next to the building, and then acted like I could drive through an old wooden fence to get to the condos.

      5/10 I only had to drive to the other end of the block to find the only entrance to the property.

      The only thing Apple Maps lacks now is a Waze-like ability to report hazards, speed-traps, road closures etc. along with the active user base required to crowd source the datapoints.
