The article doesn't mention anything on Google Plus Code address. This is useful when finding parking garage entrance in a city. The official address is usually hit or miss because it's usually an office address. For driver, Plus Code is more useful. See example below:

Prudential Center Parking Garage in Boston, MA

General address:

111 Huntington Avenue

800 Boylston St

Boston, MA 02199

Google Plus Code for garage entrance for driver:

8WX9+9Q, Boston, Massachusetts

Apple Map coordination for garage entrance for driver:

42.34884° N, 71.08061° W, Boston MA 02199

To obtain Apple version of exact location coordination, use Drop Pin manually to find out the entrance if you know where the entrance is. Where as Google Map is already pre-defined on their map site so it's easier to get and you don't have to guess. Google Maps wins on this feature.

Have you tried What 3 Words? They’ve mapped every single 3 meter square of earth with a three word phrase, such that you can tell someone the precise spot on earth and navigate there, such as an entrance to a car park, a front door, a particular campsite, or—and this is quite novel and helpful—where your nomadic family might be set up at the moment in the steppes of Mongolia (where W3W has become quite popular). Emergency services in the UK also use it. It’s much easier to give a W3W location that try to remember how many miles past the last junction you are. 

Good. No way do I want to pay for the cost of any NFL games bundled into my Apple TV+ subscription. It holds exactly zero value for me, but the price absolutely would eventually have to be recouped, as Apple does not take on money-losing ventures.
