I generally use Google maps. I want to switch to Apple Maps, but there is no web version that I can use. Google has both an app and a web version.
Trying to use Apple Maps where possible, but it’s a tough habit to break.

I always used Google Maps, but in recent years it became almost unusable. It only shows you paid ads.
Apple isn’t great either, but it’s better than Google.
I swapped to OSM, which isn’t perfect either but you can change the info and sometimes it even has better info than the other too.
I use google for most things, for several reasons:
- Google seems to have more data. Hours, reviews, photos, including usually more recent and frequent street views. They also have pretty good live traffic data
- Access to offline maps. Nice to have a backup when you have no service. As far as I know, Apple Maps doesn’t offer offline maps except for your current route.
- It syncs with my desktop use of google maps, including custom maps.
- Apple Maps sucked when it first came out. Left a bad taste in my mouth
- For navigation, unless I need an offline maps, I use Waze. Not part of Google maps, but owned by google.
