I am impressed and pleasantly surprised with/by the native nav. I will say that while Apple maps was incredibly bad when it came out, I really don’t have much to complain about anymore. It may be because I live in the middle of a major metropolitan area, but I honestly haven’t noticed a marked difference between it and Waze. My only complaint would be that it sometimes tells me about a turn too late, but I’m rarely using voice guided directions, so it’s a minor quibble. I thought I would miss Waze more than I do.
And I love how when I get in my truck Apple has a pretty good idea of where I want to go already (work every morning, I take the kids to school every Friday so it knows that on Friday morning when I get in I’m not going to work first but gives me a map to their school, church when I fire it up Sunday morning etc) and shows an overview map of that suggested route without me touching anything.
Whole point being: if you haven’t used Apple maps since it’s disastrous rollout, try it, you may be surprised. Again, this may be because I live in the middle of dallas...it may be a lot worse in more rural areas.
