Does anyone remember what it was like to drive somewhere or try to find a place you hadn’t been to before without a map on your phone? Not even talking about using a paper map and the last time you used one to get somewhere. Whether it’s Google Maps, Apple Maps, or even Waze, you may be more than dependent on a map application. But judging from the reactions to a post a user shared on Twitter with an image of a sinking car and caption “google maps deada** have you like this,” not all maps are equal and they don't always lead to destinations. The post below has opened a can of worms of the never-ending dispute of which is the worst navigation app and turns out Apple Maps is taking the beating this time on a Twitter thread dedicated to that.

Below are 29 of the best posts and jokes about the struggles of using mapping applications that often leave their users lost and confused. But if you don’t know where you're going, you can’t get lost, right?

Got directions from Apple Maps one time. Instructions: turn right...now make a u-turn...for real
When planning a trip I use a combination of Google Maps, Bing Maps and MapQuest - and in the end I rely most on my hand-written notes. However, Google Maps has saved my a**e on more than one occasion.
What's the deal with Apple maps? I've never used it, why do they suck so bad?
It's always a fight in the car, my android that never fails and his iPhone which needs to start using Google maps because its got a habit? of taking the long, zig zagging route and really never knowing where its taking us. Also, the map app in my 2013 Toyota Rav4 does a better job than the iPhone map, and that's saying a lot.
The people are once again divided—this time on what is better (or what is worse): Apple Maps or Google Maps. Of course, there is some percentage of Waze users that ensure that both of the most popular aforementioned apps are equally misleading and will take you through the worst route with the most confusing directions and no return back, meaning you will just end up stuck on the top of some tree.
The apps are getting roasted to the point that one Twitter user questions if Apple Maps creators are actually using the same app to get to work and have firsthand experience of how bad it can actually be.
It's not fastest if you die in the middle. That would be a major delay.
It will be over quicker than the alternative, so quickest?

Sooo, I had to drive over a creek, between two woods, and smh I was supposed to drive thru a house
Well if the tree is at the right destination then the map is accurate😅😅
I would still love to know how the truck got up there with no visible damage. I've lived in Tornado Alley and have seen what tornados can do. For eff's sake, my highschool team was the Golden Tornadoes!
Load More Replies...I saw a car in a tree a few years ago. The tree was downhill from a highway and the car lost control and flew off the road into the trees. Can you imagine how terrifying that would be?
Load More Replies...I was new to the driving thing MANY years ago and had to use my dad's TomTom to get me and mom to okc hospital and back. Leaving to come home which is nearly 9 hrs away the stupid thing had me lost in the parking garage longer than I would like to admit.
Fly me to the moon(edit:😅😅it was great singing with you pandas!! We should do it more often!!)
Let me play among the stars! Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars

"This is Ground Control to Major Tom You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare ........
That is sooo dangerous. Especially, if you're a tourist, it is nighttime, and you're used to driving on the left anyway.
Was this in Texas (idk) I saw la Madeline and I know its in the airport and in Dallas im pretty sure
Can't get what words are censored here and why. (no native English speaker)
Don’t use Apple Maps in Washington DC 😂 there’s a lot of one way streets there and Apple doesn’t realize that. I was lucky I didn’t get a ticket
I don't think so or they would all be late or never make it to work.
That's odd that you decided to sell you phone (unless of course there was something wrong with it) because all you have to do is uninstall the Apple Maps app and download Google Maps. No need to sell the whole phone.
Maybe he was fed up with the other features too and that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

One time i was in the panhandle on vacation with my family, and we were looking for an Olive Garden bc we had pizza hut every single f*****g day and google maps led us to a dirt road in the middle of nowhereland
It’s odd that you sold your phone. You could’ve just used something like waze instead.
Waking up to realize you've been hoodwinked and become part of the herd who is happy to fork over dollars that require repeated dollars consitently for every little thing or just because - and realizing - no - I don't need a new apple iphone every other year - to the reality of how inexpensive a droid phone really is. Priceless.
Dude, you said take a down, then you said take a up. WHICH ONE IS IT DUDETTE!?
You’re better off just wondering endless blindfolded than using Apple Maps to walk
Because folding a luxury sedan would leave creases. And that would look sloppy.
Load More Replies...Apple maps still suggests driving to my old house from work, which I moved out of 6 months ago and have since upgraded my phone TWICE (I’m clumsy 🤷♀️)... not so subtlety telling me Apple doesn’t approve the move
It’s saying “tsk tsk, Lauren. Alicia was a keeper. Go talk to her. No I won’t let you go anywhere else”
Not if they admit to using Apple Maps.
Load More Replies...Who needs roads anyways lol, apple maps always does this to me
"You've arrived at your destination" Me: "I'm in the lake! WTF?"
For only an hour???? You could easily get lost in Texas for 4 hours!

I still can't figure out what the long word beginning with a D is that BP is censoring.

Did anyone consider that Apple maps might be so evolved it shows FUTURE roads/airports etc? It's all the wibbly-wobbly timey-whimy stuff.....
"In the NEW APPLE MAPS 12 We've removed those awful roads that were just cluttering up the screen! I know I never used them! We're sure you'll *adore* our new sleek design!" "They can be added for those of you who miss them with our fabulous iRoad package. Only $1745!"
lol that was basically my reaction. fun article tho
Load More Replies...This reminds me of the early days of GPS, back when they were separate devices. My dad had one, and he used to argue with her. Especially when, on a trip from Manchester to Glasgow, she decided that every. single. traffic light was a roundabout, and vice versa. And lord help you if there were roadworks. Our journeys were hilarious. But I learnt to read an old-fashioned map and understand road signs as a back up.
Yes yes!!! I wrote something similar at the comments in the post!! One of the (fortunately) funniest adventures i had with my friends was when we were using these devices and ended up in something that looked like a road and a field! Only farms and animals around and noone to ask!! Don't even remember how we came back!!

i think the d word is deada*s, but i could be wrong of course
Load More Replies...I am not a fan of google maps, it's redirection is appalling compared to a GPS unit. However, I have had fun with that too. Once it told me to turn left (off a main road), and immediately turn right. Then in 100 metres, turn right and then immediately turn left. Basically, it got me to drive on a service road for 100 metres. Dumb.
Or MapQuest, or Bing Maps (though the latter has given me problems a couple times)
