Apple Maps has Ads now

I'd that's the premium experience you are paying for?
(although tbh android flagships are just as expensive.)

Kinda glad I jumped that ship earlier this year.

Already done that when I still had my iPhone. Love how fast it is and that contributions go to OSM and not Apples Fork of it.

I'm not complaining, I'm just pointing out that it is close to a Google maps replacement but it's not there yet. If you are expecting to open it up, type in an address and get where you are going, you are going to be disappointed. It's just the reality of it.

Downtown Credo has great coffee in Orlando! Qreate (sp?) has some wild combos, too. I tried a matcha tonic there that kinda changed my life.

Oh yeah fuck Apple, too!

It depends on where you live, for me it workes 70% of the time
