Apple Maps Is Finally Available on Android Devices—but I Won't be Making the Switch

Summary
Apple has launched its Apple Maps service on mobile web browsers, so it is now accessible for Android users on any smartphone.
It can be used on any web browser including Chrome, Edge and Firefox and provides features such as turn-by-turn directions, interactive maps, search for businesses and the option to share live locations.
However, it is still not time to swap out Google Maps for Apple Maps yet, as the latter still lacks many features offered by Google Maps, such as user-submitted reviews, photos and real-time traffic updates.
It is hoped the new web-based service will provide increased opportunities for Apple Maps to link with web-based services, third-party apps and location-sharing platforms outside of the Apple ecosystem.
It provides Android users with an enticing alternative to downloading another map app.
