Slow as of late

I've noticed since the most recent update that it has a really hard time loading your route. Almost have to exclusively use Google Maps now cause I don't have the time to wait for Apple Maps to load. Also, when you get to your destination, and then open the app to go somewhere else, it defaults to routing to the destination you just arrived at which is ridiculous and I don't know why anybody would program it this way. It seems like the app isn't tested in a way that mimics the way that is standard with the majority population. Also, what is the ZIP Code for the destination I'm going to again? There is multiple in the area.

Worst map software there is

Been using Apple Maps for quite a few years, and it’s very apparent that Apple doesn’t care about this software. You have a two-star rating on your own App Store because the software is so bad and buggy. It just doesn’t work. The turn-by-turn sucks. It doesn’t show you enough detail when you’re coming up to where you need to exit, causing you to miss your exit quite a bit. Overall, this is a pretty weak attempt by Apple. I don’t even see why they even keep it at this point. Google Maps far exceeds this software.

This app sucks

Zero updates to problems, bad directions, routing through closed roads with no detour. It’s like the makers of this app have never driven on a road! And why does your “predictive” location throw the DUMBEST location recomemdations?!? If I give an EXACT address, why would it even suggest “you mean the south street, not north?” NO, I TYPED NORTH STREET, DON’T SEND ME TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF TOWN!

Lake America?

No thanks. You are disgusting quislings.

Where am I going

Is it to much to ask display the address of the location where my Apple map is taking me (just to ensure I typed the address in correctly)
