The Bing of Maps

Ouch, but Om, as usual, is right.

So when I think of Apple Maps, no matter how improved they might be, all it does is remind me of Bing — an also-ran that can never catch up to Google, because more people use Google’s search.

Two years ago I linked to an article talking about how Google Maps has about a 6 year head start on everyone else. I’m sure that gap has been closed somewhat, but probably not much.  Waze was a great acquisition for Google. If you are driving and using your phone’s navigation app you are using Google Maps or Waze or you are lost or late.
