It is nice when people want to use an outdated mapping system. Google is light-years behind Apple. I have never used Waze because I have not had a need to ever check out Waze. From the preview shots in the App Store, the maps look like cartoons, not like the better ones from the 1990s, but more like the really horrible ones shown today. Apple Maps has provided for my mapping needs from day one, so there has been no need to check out Waze. I do not need a second application that does something that the native application does better. If you want to use Waze, go right ahead. I will continue to use the better developed Apple Maps.Because outside the United States, Apple Maps is pretty crummy and misses out many roads, so navigation is dire.
Moreover, if you are wondering how many people use Google Maps, the number is approximately 118 million users vs around 64 million for Apple Maps in the US, and over 1 billion users globally vs around 400m users for Apple Maps.
I'm also not sure if you have used Waze or not, but compared to Apple Maps, for navigation, it's light-years ahead of Apple.

I was a daily GPS app user for the longest time, so much like you, I've used both Apple Maps and Waze extensively -- though I've only used Google Maps very minimally. Regarding the former two apps, the reality is: Apple Maps does some things better, and Waze does other things better. Frankly, anyone who has used two or more very popular products and doesn't make a similar concession is almost certainly actively choosing to ignore flaws in their preferred product; in this particular comparison, I could easily cite multiple issues with both products... that is, if I wanted to make you so bored that you stop reading and blindly type out, "TLDR." 😆I have used both. No way Apple Maps is better than Waze LOL
Scaringe highlighted that CarPlay's inability to "leverage other parts of the vehicle experience" would necessitate users to exit the app for certain functions, such as opening the front trunk.
They didn't try, they looked into it. Apple is a "trillion dollar" company, a Vietnamese billionaire can do it (vinfast)They tried. It didn't work out for them.
I liked Waze when I had my Outback using CarPlay because the maps were simpler visually. Also Apple Maps is annoying when you start up, like it is insisting that you enter a destination and is going to block off part of your screen with that menu till you enter something in. Waze is simple, not intrusive and I found the most accurate for showing police, construction, road issues, etc. I have a Tesla now and switch back and forth between sat maps and regular maps. Tesla is using Google for their mapping.It is nice when people want to use an outdated mapping system. Google is light-years behind Apple.

No way it is light years ahead of Google Maps either.I have used both. No way Apple Maps is better than Waze LOL
