Its really small, but for me its traffic lights. It's SOOOO much easier to be navigating and say, turn in two lights, instead of "turn in the next three streets". Especially on busy roads when you need to be in a certain lane to make that left or right hand turn.

Google maps added this to their desktop app [1] and maybe their iOS app, but apple has had this for years.

Also Apple maps offers saved places in an offline, non-synced way. Google requires access to all my location data to save places (like web bookmarks) and that's just too privacy invasive for me.
