or Apple Maps...

Again not that Google is much better. What number messenger app am I on now? What random project will they cancel next only to half-ass integrate random features into another similar but not the same app.

Apple maps was really rough when it launched, but these days the UI/street view is much better than Google. I just wish it had more user reported data like waze.

Agreed. On properly mapped areas, they have better proactive lane warning. Also, on cities they mapped everything down to the lane marking which is quite cool

I love the apple watch part of it. Nice driving and walking and not having to pay attention to the phone.

As much as I love that feature it’s bittersweet because I’m pretty sure Apple is blocking 3rd party apps from implementing the same thing. Maybe I’m behind and it’s already been covered but why wouldn’t google maps or Waze implement that if it wasn’t an option?

For google maps and Waze? I don’t remember getting any navigation notifications on my watch using them but it’s been awhile since I’ve tried.

Google messenges are something else. They have not a clue what to do

You need to try Apple Maps again. Much prefer it to GMaps.

I’ve been constantly using Apple Map recently. I am not sure if you are talking about.

Or the apple car. They had such a great release of their prototype last year.
