My experience was Apple maps was vastly superior in Europe.
BUT they need to add downloadable maps.

Good. 3D Maps should be available in more locations across the world.
Apple Maps is ugly. Horrible cartoon graphics. This is Earth, not the Metaverse. Google with a VPN.
I really like this stylized look for the 3D landmarks.
To be honest in 2022 Apple Maps, while not as complete as Google Maps, it's 100% usable and I actually prefer the simple nature of the app.
I have been using Apple Maps exclusively for the last year and I experienced no issues.
Considering I'm de-googling (removing as many google products from my life as I can) this is wonderful.

Well looked it up on the news and wow, pretty messy someone got fired for that lol. Otherwise not a bad update I still think Google is more complete and up to date with public transport.
They have that an IP address requested a map of that section of the world?
Eh. Have fun with that data.
It's not like Apple isn't making money off of the exact same thing - Apple just does so indirectly so they can pretend they're clean. What is Google paying Apple billions of dollars for? It's a business transaction - Google is getting something out of it. And that's data on Apple users. Again, not directly, but Google isn't just sending that money over for fun - it's clearly a money maker for them because they're spending billions of dollars per year on it.
Right because most people don't bother changing the default search engine on their iPhone/iPad/Mac which is Google.
Toronto looks great in 3D for landmark buildings like The Hockey Hall of Fame (Toronto being one of the original six NHL Teams). Specifically due to the taller buildings surrounding it it’s great to still be able to zoom in.
Cycling trails pails in comparison to Google
Don’t worry it’ll keep improving.
What? Lol. Each are just as good for directions all over Toronto and the GTA especially for driving or walking.

Dunno about cycling and hiking trails, but for driving Google has in the past had better routing during rush hour in Toronto. It's not the directions in general, but the directions when there are traffic issues.
But like I said, now that it has been updated, maybe it has improved. It's been about 4-5 months since I've last checked.
They actually have the lane setup on Autoroute Bonaventure as it was during construction, not as it is currently. That’ll be confusing for people not familiar with the place (just looking at it, it makes little sense and I drove there every morning for a while)
Orange Julep maybe because it was so easy to model ??♂️
I’m curious which other buildings would be on the list… off the top of my head:
• Jacques-Carter Bridge
• Champlain Bridge (the mid-dismantling old one would be a funny touch too)
• Marché Bonsecours
• Place Bonaventure
• Place des Arts
• Palais des Congrès
• Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde
• Botanical Garden/Insectarium
Love the Timmies in your 3rd pic. Now that is a Canadian landmark even if there are a few thousand of them.
Le Brassiere Molson predates most of those They should also add Schwartz deli and Fairmont bagel if you want landmarks.
