One of the best features of Apple Maps is ironically when you’re not even in the app. The Dynamic Island shows you when and where to turn, making it a real convenience when you’re using other apps. Google Maps on the other hand just gives you a static GPS arrow in the Dynamic Island. You can see Apple’s integration in the Dynamic Island while using Google Maps, and vice versa.
