Apple Maps, probably.

 

I like Apple more than Google Maps. I've been using Google a lot more since the truck's infotainment has it built in, and it's just not as intuitive, seems to run slower than Maps on Carplay.

I’m so used to using my phone via Bluetooth I don’t turn anything else on.

Love Waze most of the time, my issue with it in low traffic areas it will not give the same route two times in a row??  To west from my house, I can go two different ways, one is shorter distance but time wise can be longer the other is 5 miles longer but can be 10-15 minutes faster.  My is set to fastest route but everyother time it takes me the longer time way???

Both my navigation apps on my iPhone vary my route to my mother’s house. It’s traffic depending. My last trip home a 7 hour drive from my favorite casino had my arrival 2 hours more than usual. It’s was for a delay that was 5 hours away. Two hours later it was back to normal before I got to the area. I use navigation for most of my driving even short distance. It has little to do if I know the way. There’s usually several ways to my destination and traffic has gotten heavier with all the migration here.

Exactly, I know the route, it's if there is traffic congestion that I'm not aware of and Waze has steered me clear of it several times.

My mother lives 1/2 hour from my church. One Sunday we got held up on I-45 two hours because of a wreck. There was at least 5 different ways I could have gone. I now punch my destination before I walk out the door even to go across town. Most days as soon as my phone connects to Bluetooth. My phone tells me the best route even without me using the phone app. I’m that predictable most days.

Google and Apple do likewise. Both tend to push the alternate route, which may simply be get on the access road for a few miles and then hop back on. Then you find out the slow down is now being caused by all the merging traffic from your position. 

 

I tried Waze yesterday. It couldn't get me out of my neighborhood without taking me south out of my driveway, making multiple stops and turns, ultimately reaching the Interstate I wanted. Maybe 2 miles. Or I can simply leave my driveway turning left (north), drive 5 blocks to a major thoroughfare that takes me directly to the Interstate. About 1 mile.

 

Maybe it's better over the road than in town? It's showing some odd ways to get to certain locations in my town

 

Kinda crazy

I use waze for traffic and alerts.  Gmaps for navigation since I hate how waze usually routes things.  I still find it funny that google bought waze years ago, yet they still route things differently for the same destination.  Last I knew gmaps got the alerts from waze users too.

Differences in between Google and Waze

AI video is out of date.  Gmaps has had speed traps for quite some time now.  Unless they recently took them out.
