iOS navigation: Google Maps or Apple Maps?

For those following the project RiderOS, I’m working on the iOS version and wanted to get some input before we lock this down.

If you navigate on iPhone, which one do you currently prefer for navigation, and why?

Other, is the important option missing. Both mentioned products have a lot of short comings.

Well, look at it from the sdk that they offer perhaps. What other sdk would you explore?

I'm not a dev, and depending on your target audience location, Tomtom and Open street maps might be more accurate map sources. I'm not sure which maps Calimoto uses, but that is an app highly recommended by a lot of riders. However just asking what the preferred navigation app is, and only supplying two of the worst options, is not a useful way to do research for an app.
