Apple Maps is not reliable. Google owns both Google Maps and Waze. Both now reflect things like traffic, accidents, and speed traps from the same dataset. The choice between the two comes down to the user interface you prefer. I personally prefer Google Maps because the web interface on desktop is easier for me and transfer a route to my phone is very simple. I've done route planning entirely on my phone in Google Maps and Waze and it doesn't matter much. Whichever makes you happier - the result is the same.

With all respect to Andrew, this sounds like a combination of operator error and reliance on a poor tool (Apple Maps).

I regularly set up routes with multiple stops, often in off the grid places, without issues. I travel for work a lot so many places in many cars through CarPay and directly on the phone.

Every time I try and outsmart the phone it bites me (the decision, not the phone). The last time I got seriously awkward guidance was over fifteen years ago when I was routed down a literal cow path (had to open cattle gates at both ends) in rural Eastern Shore Maryland. The data collection and routing algorithms are better now.
