For directions to nearby locations and locations you've never visited, do you prefer to use Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze? Or do you have another map app that you prefer to use?

I’ve never heard of Waze
Waze was bought by Google a little while ago I believe. It acts as more of a community app where users submit reports of things like speed traps, accidents, traffic etc.
I use the GPS in my truck.
I can't remember if it was someone else but you have a Ford, right? How is the GPS in it?

That's good to hear. People usually complain about the built-in GPS in vehicles when they compare it to services like Google Maps

Only ever used or even heard of Google maps... had no idea Apple had one and also have never heard of Waze.
I still only trust Google Maps for longer journeys but the Apple one is actually quite good. It provides better instructions on where you need to turn which can be useful for some. For example, turn left after the lights

I prefer to use Apple maps because that's the navigation app that causes my phone to heat up the least while in use.

Certain areas in the States will have 3D maps in Apple Maps which is really cool. Would love for this to be available in the UK at some point.
