APPLE THREAD | Apple Event Sept. 9th 2024 10a.m. PT. | iPhone 16

[crazy ebw]

The Waze love got me wanting to give it another shot.

Maps has been Gucci for me, especially in iOS 10

 

[capital sb]

I haven't messed with it too much I just didn't see where to input the address so I was in a hurry and didn't use it

It does look good trust me that's why I still have it. Told my girl to get it since she uses navi on her phone like crazy and apple always takes her the wrong way

Press the magnifying glass on the bottom right. Enter the address in the search bar.

Got it now

Thought it was for something else so didn't have time to learn while I was driving

For real thought the maps on the iPhone sucks. Twice in the last week on my brother and friends iPhone 7 it took them in the wrong direction and area...

Had to use my phone and use google maps to get there

 

[crazy ebw]

I guess I haven't had issues because most of my time using the app is on main roads/highways. I've NEVER had an issue :\

 

[AZwildcats]

I am gonna try out Waze now

 

[DonRafa]

waze >*

I live by the airport...Yesterday i was driving to get to the interstate, dang thing tried to lead me to the airport plane runway

I came in here tovaskabout the gps as well but mine wont work at all, itll hit me with "no service" where it says " verizon" on the upper left corner and just wont work.

Edit: was referring to google maps btw

Waze is too cartoonish for me, i wish google would just add that social feature to its own maps 

I Fs with Google Maps, a few things i love about it over apple maps:

• Basically google search for locations and directs
• The yelp integration is way better
•  The directions feels more accurate 
• The street view is probably the best feature ever on any maps 
• its easy to one hand the app, double tap and hold slide up n down to zoom in n out

The only thing I like about apple maps is parked car feature, if Google maps had that i would delete apple maps for sure

 

[polosanddunks]

Yeah that's the one thing that turns me off about Waze is the cartoonish interface.

Apple Maps is dumpster status

 

[capital sb]

Waze needs a major UI/UX overhaul lol .

 

[crazy ebw]

That UI is seriously cartoonish. Hard to get over, but i'm going to try it out. If functionality is there, we good.

 

[jewseejay]

Dont do it to yourself waze is a joke. Jus use google maps its infinitely more practical and intuitive. You wont be looking at your phone halfff as much as waze changing destinations and what not. I get it, alot of it is im just more familar with google but it legit never fails. Waze and a cpl wrong key clicks by my kid or in my lap its just a pain to get re orientated

 

[crazy ebw]

I haven't messed with Google Maps in a while, but it sounds like it's still the king. I guess I just don't use GPS enough for it to really matter with the differences.

Anybody use 3rd party calendar apps? Fantastical is still the GOAT

 

[heliumclinton]

Google Maps is dope especially when you're walking too so many times on Apple Maps I have to walk half a block down just to realize I was suppose to go the opposite direction

Also was just in Amsterdam and Google came through in the clutch for public transportation Apple maps told me they weren't able to display blah blah

 

[QU!K]

I use waze for driving

Google maps for public transportation/walking

 

[AZwildcats]

I tried Waze yesterday, felt like I was playing Pacman with those goofy little icons

 I thought I was the only person this happened to 

 

[QU!K]

That's another thing google has offline maps

 

[miamiboy]

Waze is GOAT. Saved my *** so many times from traffic and speeding tickets. I save a good amount of time since Google Maps doesnt have up to the minute traffic updates from drivers like Waze does.

 

[wrightone86]

They are 2 different apps, yes, but we do know that Google bought/owns Waze for like 3 years now, right?

I have used google maps and had an alert or something listed on the map while I am using it, but it says that is was posted from Waze or something like that.

I figured down the road (no clue how long), they will eventually merge the 2 apps into one. Or they could just leave them separate as well I suppose for those that don't want to have it merged or learn to use another new app.

 

[Magic33]

I use Waze for when I already know where I'm going.

I use Google Maps for when I don't know

I don't even open Apple anymore. I haven't seen how it looks since the first few months after it was released.

 

[grimeyy]

Or... how about we don't speed?
