Apple Maps for default/system integration. I like that maps doesn’t have too my ads at the moment, but this is supposed to change.
Google Maps is better for traffic data and it’s "live map" (basically any information that relies on to the minute information).
It should be noted that Google Maps shows ads in places on the map, which isn’t bad, but it is supposed to be getting worse. I use Prolific.ac, and they keep running crowdsourced surveys which shows Google Search and Google Maps with even more ads than they already have.
This is it for me. 95% of my usage of maps is while I’m driving, and I need live data so I can be rerouted immediately if there’s a sudden change of traffic ahead, or if I take a wrong turn or exit.
