Now then, do we know which maps we should use? If we search the App Store, we will surely find hundreds of applications that offer us their services, such as the best maps you can find . But this is not entirely true.
That is why, today we are going to face each other, the best GPS apps that we currently find. Which are, Apple maps and Google Maps (Google maps). Currently, this is the best we can find and also at a cost of €0.
THE BEST GPS APPS, THE GREAT DUEL
Let's start by analyzing Apple's maps, which have undoubtedly given a lot of talk, since the company with the bitten apple has put a lot of effort into perfecting these maps, since it parted ways with Google.
The truth is that they have improved a lot compared to iOS 6. One of the novelties is the possibility of seeing the main cities in 3D. Although at first it has bugs, as we use this app, it gets better
Visually, Apple's native app has improved considerably, even giving us the ability to navigate in full screen, something that is greatly appreciated. Perhaps a point in its favor is the integration it has with Siri, since it makes things much easier for us when looking for a place, just by telling our virtual assistant, it will do the rest.
Slideshow requires JavaScript.
Advantages:
- Maps of major cities in 3D.
- Perfect integration with Siri .
- It is the native application of Apple .
- Visually perfect.
- Completely adapted to Spanish.
- As you use it, it gets better.
- Use night mode (when it's night, the maps will go into night mode).
- We have the option to see the traffic.
- Possibility to search premises.
Disadvantages:
Without a doubt the main disadvantage of these maps is that they are still very green, although as we have said, they have improved a lot compared to those of iOS 6.
Another point against it is that its main competitor (Google Maps) is very advanced and therefore, those of Apple, time is running out. What we mean by this is that if they don't make a big change, which they will in iOS 8, Apple Maps will possibly go down in history.
And if we have to highlight something very important, in terms of disadvantages, it is that when driving by car using these maps, it has a certain delay with respect to the speed at which we are going, so it is it is very easy for us to make the wrong exit.
This is the GPS app par excellence, without a doubt, Apple made a serious mistake by leaving out iOS, and consequently, this great map application ceased to be part of the native apps of this system . It is currently considered the best GPS app.
Its success lies in the few errors it has and the reliability of the maps and routes it generates for us, since they are always accurate and with very good precision, bordering on excellence.
Therefore, if we have to highlight something about it, it is its reliability, if you want to take a trip, we can fully trust this app, because it will leave us at the door of the place we are going to and also by the shortest path.And also now in its new version, we have the possibility of using the maps offline.
Advantages:
- Maximum reliability.
- Always look for the shortest path.
- Business search.
- Offline Maps.
- Very fast.
- It shows us the traffic.
- The famous Street View (maps at street level).
- Completely adapted to Spanish.
Disadvantages:
The truth is that we did not find any drawbacks to highlight. If we have to highlight one, it would be for Apple, for leaving out of iOS (as a native application), this fantastic GPS app .
Therefore, it currently does not have any negative points.
Our Verdict
For us and seeing the analysis that we have carried out on each GPS app, without a doubt, the big winner of this duel is the Google app, that is, Google Maps.
As we have said, it is currently perfect and it is also totally free, so you cannot ask for anything more. From our experience, using this app to travel, it has never failed us and we have always found what we were looking for.
So, unless Apple makes a drastic change to their maps, this will always be our favorite GPS app for us, and for good reason.
