Apple Maps and Google Maps recently launched new operating systems, Android 16 and iOS 26, respectively, yet fail to solve the issue of data transfer between these two platforms. Users are locked into one mapping app, which can hinder their access and control over their saved locations. Both platforms feature unique strengths: Apple Maps boasts a cleaner interface and appealing design while Google Maps provides superior data and contextual information. This limitation frustrates users who wish to switch between mapping services without losing location data.
Both Apple Maps and Google Maps fail to provide users with a simple solution to transfer saved map data between the two platforms, perpetuating a data lock-in.
Apple Maps has made considerable strides, offering a less cluttered interface and a visually appealing design, while Google Maps excels in point-of-interest data and crowd-sourced insights.
