I was not attacking Apple maps. I was merely pointing out that DuckDuckGo doesn’t have anything comparable to the maps from Google. For my purposes, I switch between the three different navigation programs: Google, Apple and Waze. (Google owns Waze.) Google and Waze have better current traffic information, probably because that’s what Waze was made to do. Google also has bicycle routes, which I use quite a bit when bicycling in cities away from home. Apple is easy to use on the go because of Siri. It also seems to have a cleaner look. L^2 PS/ Apple maps has a little mistake that I’ve reported to them several times to no avail. When I was small, we lived on Horseshoe Lake Circle near Negaunee, Michigan. If you search for this in Apple maps, you’ll see the horseshoe-shaped lake near there is called, by Apple maps, Morgan Pond. It’s actually Horseshoe Lake. Morgan Pond is several miles to the east. The pond is on the map, but is not named. You can see it by using the search “Morgan Creek Negaunee Michigan.” You can see a creek clearly labeled Morgan Creek flowing into the unnamed pond. --- Lee Larson leelar...@me.com <mailto:leelar...@me.com> I cannot live without brain-work.
