I'm a Google Maps user and it is the primary navigation app I use alongside the iPhone app. It works well for me, though I hope for better performance and solutions in future updates. I also hope Apple improves their maps as well.

Google Maps needs to load faster and provide a better 3D display than Apple Maps to be considered truly innovative.
