#2It seems to still have the dropdown to select which mapping service, but it doesn't change when you use it, and Apple maps isn't on the list. But the map it shows me does have the Apple logo in the corner.

#3I think of Apple Maps the same way I think of North Korea's missile program: I know it exists and it has continent-level accuracy.

I don't use NK missiles, but I do use Apple Maps and they are fine.

#5Very recently Qwant launched their Maps beta that is based on OpenStreetMaps. Discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20304720
Sidenote: I use duckduckgo for Safari search. I saw an ad on twitter for something that I searched in a private window of Safari. Not sure whose fault that is, but it really disturbed me.

Are you talking about the drop down right under the "directions" button? I believe that's for navigation only. ie. if you choose "google", and click the directions button, it opens google maps in a new tab, and if you change it to bing, it opens bing maps in a new tab.

Oh my God, you're so hilarious! /s
Dude, Apple Maps jokes are so 2012.
Apple Maps has improved significantly in recent years. With iOS 13, it's going to annihilate Google Maps.

I choose to use Apple maps for navigating most places within a city. On iPhone, I think it has far superior ux design. In between cities I use google maps because I feel it is more up to date.

That's a pretty funny comment, but I believe so far NK has actually failed to show continent level accuracy. They've only shown Pacific Ocean accuracy. XD

#10I'm glad they are expanding usage of Apple maps. I hope that people will start using it more. In its older state it was a pain to search for things. I wonder if they will expand to using the routing so you don't need to leave for directions.
