I think my complaints are more with apple than google. What I find most annoying is that contact addresses default to apple maps. Ditto for google search results, i.e. you look up a business in google app, tap on street address. Is there a way to switch the default map program?
As for google maps I like that I don't have to turn on Traffic every time I load the program (which is most often the reason I am using it). However it would be nice if I could adjust the default to a 30 miles radius (for traffic) instead of the closeup street view which is largely useless. Also I get annoyed when switching from the voice directions back to the traffic map. When I have voice directions I don't need to see the written version but I do like to monitor traffic on the route. Finally it is annoyingly easy to accidentally rotate off true north.
These are all minor quibbles, I still find it amazing that I can get free realtime traffic and mapping on my phone. How does Garmin stay in business?
