I can offer some perspective on this. Right now I'm on holiday using very limited roaming data and been using Apple maps extensively. My data usage had been well under control. This in stark contrast to last year when using Google Maps where half my data allowance was gone in the first day. Barely used Google Maps since on mobile other than the rare occasion Apple Maps hasn't been able to locate a specific place or needed street view. Others mileage may vary, but for me, Apple Maps just seems to be more efficient.

Google maps for me. But the walking app has problems. Likes others have said it rotates wildly all the time. This has been happening for the last 2 or 3 years on several different phones I used.
I nearly never use Google maps but hitting the toggle switches from first person, always forwards to traditional map view, the toggle being the compass icon.


I'm well unimpressed by the cycling layer,and the walking stuff is only suitable for streets.
