Apple Maps show a fake website for restaurants with higher prices that Google Maps.

Weird experience today, I looked up a Chinese restaurant from my iPhone search bar and it took me to Apple Maps for the location. When I clicked on order (not from a third party mind you) but for their own website I was taken to their “website” which looked a bit different from the usual but saw the prices were higher by 75 cents or more.
Did the same search in Google Maps and it took me to their real site with their real menu prices.

Is this prevalent for other places?

Live location feature- how does it work?

I’m a little confused. Does it update ONLY when you are in the app or does it periodically update?? For example if it says actualized 30 minutes ago- were they in the app 30 mins ago?

Why does the transit option only show some lines as separate colors but not others?

Metra and South Shore are all one single color despite those systems also (like the CTA) having separate colors for their lines. If the CTA's separate colors are displayed, why not Metra's? This also happens in other cities all over the world so just a general question as to how they choose what lines to show the color of.

AM shines for road closures

I’ve been doing a lot of comparisons recently between Apple Maps and Google Maps. And one of the ways in which AM really has set itself apart has been for road closures. AM has been on top of every closure, while GM has either noted it late or not at all. It occurred again this morning where we had a street fair in town; AM reflected it in the map immediately while GM still isn’t showing it.
