OK, Mark, but can you share something of how you use Apple Maps, since I
really don't know.

Hello Carol,
I was going to sit this one out but after reading all the replies I decided
to chime in.
Many of my friends and I have iPhones.
When we go out, almost on a daily basis, we often use both Google Maps on
one device and Apple Maps on the other.
I can tel you that I would choose Apple Maps over Google Maps every time
with regard to ease of use, accuracy, and VoiceOver accessibility. I
concede that, in my experience anyway, many VoiceOver users do not know how
to harness the full power of Apple Maps and that's a shame as I believe it
is the best kept secret weapon in the iOS arsenal.
In 1 for 1 comparison, both apps will get the job done but Apple Maps, once
understood, far surpasses Google Maps in it's design and elegance.
In terms of actual power-route functionality, however, I would say that A T
& T Navigator, a paid subscription service wins hands down but it is not as
VO friendly as many would like it to be; however it is still very usable to
an experienced Navigator veteran. As far as the two free solutions
discussed in this reply, I would say that they are about the same in that
regard.
So, in short, if you want a free solutions that will offer the most
feature-pack VoiceOver access, then I definitely vote for Apple Maps.
Again, this is just my opinion.
Mark

Hi all,
If anyone has tried both of these, can you tell me whether Apple Maps works
as well as Google Maps and give me some kind of comparison of them both,
please?
