Interesting comparison, Google maps Vs Apple maps on iPhone:

Whilst I rarely use the apps for finding caches, I have the
iGeoKnife app

on
both iPhone and iPad. You can of course use this to find caches
and on the couple of occasions I have used it I have found it to
be very accurate (running on iPhone 4S).
More importantly for me it enables me to view all my GSAK notes
out in the field about caches I intend to look for (especially
all those puzzle caches) rather than having reams of paper in
the rucksack.
This is even better now as the satellite images now use the
google ones again, but I don't know if this is due to me having
the google maps app installed?
Please be aware that it is all off-line data though, you have to
load your GSAK databases onto your phone. I have a not found
database (some 32k caches and growing!) and I also carry my
found database, as quite often whilst out in the field I fancy
navigating somewhere and remember a cache I have found that was
near where I need to go, I can quickly get the co-ords from the
phone and enter them in the sat-nav, this is great as usually
when you need information there is no 3G signal so cannot
connect to the live database!
There is another app I have used on the odd occasion, Geocaching
Toolkit

HTML https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/geocaching-toolkit-igct/id290585562?mt=8<br
/>which has a free version, it enables waypoint projection and a
few other conversion tools.
