Yeah I prefer it now too, even here in The Netherlands. I like the interface better and the native CarPlay integration is a huge plus, especially because it works with both my car screens.

There is however still a lot of room for improvement, for example, it doesn’t clearly show how much time you lose in a traffic jam when looking on the zoomed out 2d view (which is what I use most). And I would love to see the feature TomTom used to show my average speed in a speed controlled zone.

Still not having cycling directions in Amsterdam is pretty unforgivable, for me

Yeah Google Maps does alt transit mapping very well. Using it for ski slope mapping blew my mind when that launched.

You can use one app for car navigation and another for cycling. I am positive that Apple will add cycling navigation in the future.
