- Even Apple now allows Google Maps to show when your phone is connected to your car via Apple CarPlay. The great thing about using maps on your smartphone is that they’re generally more accurate than a standard car sat-nav and that’s because, in many cases, the sat-nav in a car is drawing from a preloaded map.

Both Google Maps and Apple Maps have a broadly similar layout. You navigate by entering an address or postcode, or by tapping and dropping a pin onto a location on the Map. In Google Maps you then tap the red pin, tap the Car icon at the bottom, choose from one of three results (it lists just the time that each takes and a via option). You can then...
This is one that surprised us, but actually isn’t when you think about it. Most investigations into Siri, the voice powering technology in iOS, focus on its ability to understand what you say; not your ability to understand it.

We tested out Google Maps and Apple Maps in South London navigating from Landmarks (petrol stations, local clubs, train stations, and so on). To be honest we had few complaints with either service, both delivered consistent service. We tested with an iPhone 5 connected to the Three network and at no point did either Map lose a connection or lose it...
This is the a fairly fundamental one, so it’s something that we’re glad to see working across the board. The good news is that Apple Maps is powered by TomTom so – barring a few highly publicised glitches – it’s Maps are up-to-date, and we found them perfectly accurate. Google Maps also struck us as having its Maps completely in order (in South Lon...
Both Google Maps and Apple Maps lack GATSO traffic camera warnings, which is a major downside.

After testing out Google Maps against Apple Maps, we’ll call for Apple Maps. It’s a lot cleaner, and easier to use when driving around. Although it’s interesting that Siri is the technology that we feel makes a real difference here, and that’s just because it’s good at explaining where you are and should be going – we think Siri will become even mo...

Mar 22, 2022 · The good news is Google Maps actually uses significantly less mobile data than some of the other apps you probably open every day. It’s estimated that Google Maps eats up about 3 – 5 MB of data per hour of use.
Oct 29, 2023 · Unlike Google Maps, car sat-navs don't use your mobile data, instead, they use GPS signalling. So you don’t need to worry about losing your mobile network connection out in the bush or chewing through your data allowance.
