Apple Maps is improved, but still is no Google Maps

Apple trying to compete with Google, launches major upgrade in maps app. There's so much to like about Apple's new revamp of the long maligned Maps app. Instead of announcing that you have a turn in 1000 feet, Siri tells you, "Turn left at the next light," which is way easier to decipher. It has a visual sheen that just looks better. It lets you look around neighborhoods to get your bearings, something Google has long offered but Apple did not.
