Identify the top GPS navigation applications for your car.
Drivers of a certain age might remember a time when you used pre-printed directions, watching the odometer to track the miles until the next turn, and an emergency road atlas to help guide you. These days, digital navigation is optional on nearly every mobile phone and car. While most navigation services produce the same kind of info, what and how the information is displayed can vary greatly. With so many apps to select from, how can one know which is the best navigation service for you? We’ve concluded that our top 3 picks are Apple Maps vs. Google Maps vs. Waze. Apple CarPlay® may appear to be the leader because it is installed in so many new cars, but Google Maps and Waze have their own unique benefits as well.

The most powerful map application in this comparison is Google Maps as all of the info is provided by Google itself.

Apple Maps might be the easiest navigation app to use, thanks to CarPlay® integration with many new vehicles. The one issue with Apple Maps is that you must have an iOS device to use it.

Waze was the first to use some form of user-generated traffic information, though other NAV applications now use the information too.
It shouldn’t be a surprise, but the best Navigation App truly depends on how you use it. If you get lost easily, the Look Around feature on Apple Maps will be helpful. If you use Navigation for your next cycling trip, then Google Maps has you covered. However, if you just want to get to your destination in the quickest time possible, Waze is your only choice. Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze all have unique standout features and you can not go wrong, no matter which one you pick.
