Google Maps. In a completely surprising way, Apple Maps is credited for the fact that it has maps with better details than those offered by Google for its online map system. In the images in this article you can see the differences between the details that the maps in Google Maps and Apple Maps have at the moment, those from Apple being able to provide more detailed information because they made their platform later, with data newer.
Google Maps. Apple Maps surpasses Google's platform only in the USA, and only for 3.1% of the mapped land area, and only for 4.9% of the population living in that area. Practically, several million people benefit from more detailed maps in Apple Maps than those available in Google Maps, and the achievement is a notable one because it shows how much the company from Cupertino has tried to improve its platform in recent years.
GOOGLE MAPS. Apple Maps has BETTER DETAILS
Google Maps. Based on the analysis, Apple Maps has more accurate data for the vegetation in all the areas where the Google platform surpasses, whether it is about cities or the areas between them. Apart from these, Apple Maps has better details than Google Maps for pedestrian areas, grounds inside school yards, football fields, swimming pools, playgrounds, or tennis courts, everything being much better mapped.
"But don't let its size fool you—it's a dramatically different map from before, with a staggering amount of vegetation detail […] Apple hasn't just mapped the wilderness. Cities are also noticeably more green […]. What's really remarkable about this new vegetation detail is how deep it all goes—all the way down to the strips of grass and vegetation between roads, inside of cloverleafs and even around the corners of homes. Golf course details, like fairways, sand traps, and putting greens. School details, like baseball diamonds, running tracks, and football fields. Park details, like pools, playgrounds, and tennis courts. And even backyard tennis courts.”
Google Maps. Much better details for Apple Maps also exist regarding the buildings represented on the maps, and sometimes including their interior, Apple managing to provide much clearer details for users. Of course, in the rest of over 90% of locations, plus in the rest of the world, Google Maps has much more detailed maps than Apple Maps, and all users of the two platforms know this, so Apple still has a lot to recover.
