Tried out Google maps turn by turn today and the only thing I liked about it was the the voice itself.
The trip I took today was one I usually take and use Apple maps just for the ETA or if I have to make a detour. First off Google turn by turn doesn't seem to have a ETA or maybe I couldn't find it. It lets you know time left in the drive but I don't want to make calculations while driving although simple calculations. I like to know when I may arrive based on my speed.
Google maps gave me a more direct route home from my trip but through roads that are heavy with traffic so I got home later than if I would have taken the Apple map route which is less direct but much less traffic.
I thought it would be wildly better than Apple Maps and Apple turn by turn but in my opinion it's not. The only thing that's better in Google Maps turn by Turn is the voice which is pleasant. The SIRI voice can be a little irritating on a long drive.
For those that need the public transportation info and street view it's plus but for driving it's ok but not whipping Apple turn by turn by any means.
I've never got lost or got bad directions from Apple Maps. I recently used Apple Maps for a drive that I take a few times a week and thought it was giving me the run around when it actually was taking me to a intersection where if you drive the limit the light is always green and you avoid the dirty end of a 5 way intersection. I'll try Google on this trip and see what I get.
