Apple maps is all I use. Only time it steered me wrong was the first month it was out. Since then, flawless. Just got back to the States from Cook Islands and New Zealand and it guided our rental car on the most remote roads. I don't use public transit so don't miss that.
Bagging on Maps has just become another meme, like antenna gate.
He is trolling. Apple Maps is demonstrably better in many ways than Google Maps.
In fact, Google virtually admitted as much considering the current Google Maps Beta is nearly indistinguishable from Apple Maps.
My devices must have been designed by Henry Ford. You could have a Model T in any color, as long as it was black, and I can have a synthesized voice in either gender, as long as it's female. It seems a tad sexist, like draping new cars at the auto show with Playboy bunnies.
FInally, Siri isn't channeling Henry Ford and Hugh Hefner any more.
The option for a male voice is actually an accessibility feature, because hearing loss begins with high frequencies and moves down.
I have nothing against females. In fact, I even have a friend who is related to someone who knows a female, but I really prefer a male voice, which for me is more audible.

I like Apple Maps much, much better, but I have to use Google Maps while driving. I prop up my iPad on the passenger seat so I can glance at the map from time to time, to see where I am and to see traffic conditions ahead. Google Maps has more contrast and more saturated colors. It only takes a quick glance to see what I need to see, then my eyes are back on the road. Apple Maps' traffic conditions are detectable, but Google's are easily visible. I need to see traffic conditions ahead, because it's often necessary to improvise an alternate route. Both of these things are very important since I live an area with the second-worst traffic in the country.
If Apple increased the contrast, used more saturated contrast, and made the traffic conditions easier to see, all easy cosmetic changes, I'd never use Google Maps again.
This is something new--not just Siri, but an Apple-branded solution. I hope Subaru gets on board before too long. Want a new Forester, but will wait for this feature to show up.
And it does belong here. The number of comments on my opinion proves it.
There is just one sad little guy who doesn't agree on that. To make him feel better about that he says that
the ones who don't agree with him are dumb or liars or both.
Can you spell fundamentalism?
Compared to other ethnics, how does Apple fundamentalism look like besides ranting?
Perhaps "lie" is too strong of a word. It's more of an extreme exaggeration. All generalizations are false.

Set it to male by selecting English (UK).

Is it? I haven't clicked on that invitation button. I'll look for an article on it. Perhaps Gatorguy or KDarling can post a review...

Good for you; you're a liar, objectively, and we don't care.
"Hey, guys, I can lie all I want!" Nope.
The word "Maps" appears once. Worm(ing your way out of your trolling), meet bird.
No, don't post it where it doesn't belong. It's pretty easy for a human to comprehend.
And where is the lie?

I guess you refer to the guy who calls all people who don't agree with him a liar or dumb or whatever pups into his mind.
Hey Tallest, do you grow beard like other fundamentalists?

WOW. I'm left to wonder now if you're actually a troll account or if you genuinely believe this utter stupidity.
