I recently switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps in an effort to de-google, but this seems like an even better alternative.
Does it work with CarPlay?
EDIT: It looks like it does.
I got mad at my iPhone yesterday because I asked Siri to navigate home using Apple Maps, and it said that I hadn't shared my location with Siri so that wasn't possible. No... I shared my location with Apple Maps, open the app and have it navigate home. If you're not going to allow me to use native iPhone features with Apple Maps, I'll just use something else.
as far as I'm concerned, apple maps is a lesser evil but you're still sending your data to one of the largest corporations in the world who are frantically trying to sell you something. only a matter of time you'll hear news of your data went somewhere you didn't expect.
