I often use Google Maps to search for PoIs and opening hours since their data is so good, but often once I know where the place is I'll switch over to Apple Maps to navigate (partially because it just feels like Google's doing a lot more creepy tracking).

But yeah, add a third "hell yes" to hating not being able to see street names. I wonder if some of it is cultural differences - the maps apps seem really insistent that I can always see things like highway numbers and route numbers, which we have, but apart from major motorways (e.g. "M2") we don't really use any of those at all and refer to streets by their actual name. I wonder if it's more common to refer to numbered routes more in the US, and the apps are geared that way because of it?
