Apple Maps and Google Maps have a lot in common, including AR modes to help users who want a more dynamic way of getting around than just staring at an arrow on a flat screen. But whose mode is better?
To test them out, I took a walk to a local Tube station and back, using Google Maps Live View on one leg of the journey, and Apple Maps Guide Me on the other. It wasn’t exactly a difficult trip, but it showed me some key differences between these two apps — and allowed me to pick a favorite.
