Apple Maps are better but still behind Google Maps in Race
The latest update of Apple Maps have given better quality in terms of audio and navigation but there is still a long way to travel.Google Maps are ruling the industry of navigation from very long time and Apple Maps has to put more efforts to compete with it.Although Apple Maps is in a state of being second option and an alternative to Google maps but still there is a long way to go.There are many features that looks better than Google Maps like instead to saying turn right from 1000 meters, Siri tells you to take a right from next light which sounds simpler.With many unique specifications it looks like that sooner or later Apple Maps will capture the target of becoming better navigation system then Google.Better screen that gives better visuals, Siri is leading the industry of voice assistant just like the Google Maps are leading navigation industry. But Apple Maps comes with integration of Siri which makes it a better option.Understanding voice commands and implementing them correctly is also an important part in navigation and Google Voice Assistant lacks somewhere in that. You can use Google Maps after tying down the things as sometimes Google Assistant grabs some other words.
And Siri by Apple is way better in understanding the words and implementing them which gives Apple Maps an extra point.
Factor of Privacy
According to Apple, the navigation system doesn’t get into the personal life and stores it as the company respects the privacy of the users.Apple Maps do store some previous trips and routes but that particular thing is stored just in the phone, it is not uploaded in cloud which makes Apple Maps better in terms of privacy than Google.If just visited Starbucks and after minutes if you see Starbucks add in your Android phone than its no big deal as Google do stores visits of places and websites to show you adds accordingly which is a threat to the privacy.Apple played the game here by keeping the stored data just into the smartphone and not into cloud which will make users feel more safe and comfortable.Apple Maps are more accurate now, after years of development Apple claims that their navigation system can lead to exact and right places, can guide you to when and when not cross a road and the correct pedestrian location.With new IOS 13 update there are many new things in Apple Maps which still needs to be discovered.
