It’s not “better.” But it’s fine, it’s there by default, and it doesn’t send my precise location to Google.

That’s how I feel as well. I do my best to use it out of principle to stay away from Google services the best I can. My one biggest complaint is that when you’re navigating, Apple Maps takes over your lock screen. I think that’s getting changed in the next iOS release however.

I don’t recall it taking over my Lock Screen, but Apple Maps does lock you out of any interaction with the app while navigating. That can be really frustrating when I’m riding as passenger and want to look up some potential stops en route. Have to cancel my destination just to look at anything else.

While in "GO" mode your lock screen will be the maps navigation.

Also, by clicking the bottom thing (where you can press end route) and pressing "Add Stop" you can look up potential stops en route.
