    @red__raven I haven’t used Google Maps in a long time. What really won me over several years ago was Apple Maps would say something like “Go past this light and then at the next one, turn right”. Does google do this now?

      This is my favorite feature over Google Maps, soooo much easier to make your next turn instead of looking for street names while you are trying to drive.

      From my limited exposure, no. It just goes “in x feed turn right”

      That’s one other point I’ll give Apple Maps VS Waze/GM. AM shows you the traffic lights before your turn, which helps me know if I should start switching lanes now or later. Otherwise if I change lanes too early, I might be stuck behind people making a right turn.

      As is typical with Apple and Apple products/services, it’s the little things that keep me here.
