Apple Maps has one killer feature that I wish Google Maps could copy. Announce turns using traffic lights. "turn right on the second traffic light". "Turn left at the next stop sign". As opposed to turn right in 200 ft. Who can guage ft especially if there are multiple turns close to each other.

My sons also love the fact that Apple Maps tell which lane to use to take exits. I can see how that can be useful, but I'm not envious of that feature.

Other than that I love AA. All though sometimes connecting and staying connected is still glitchy as hell.

Android Auto is best for me, because I have an Android Phone. Apple Car Play is best for everyone else in my family, because they have iPhones.

Annoyingly, the vehicle I normally drive will always prefer connections to one of the iPhones and the vehicle my wife normally drives will always prefer connections to my phone. It drives both of us crazy.
