Oh. I think it started when Steve was around. It isn’t like there haven’t been stumbles before: Ping, Siri, Handwritting.
The fact they are just now, “looking for developers” on the project is a bit troubling. They should be well down that road if they wish to improve the situation in the near-term. So are we looking at 2+ years before this is fixed? Do they really think they can close the gap during that period? Hmmph.
Eric Dye says
I would have hoped they would have closed more gaps before rinsing themselves of Google Maps. :-/
Curtis says
Just because location-based services are the “next big thing” for advertising, I don’t think it is wise for Apple to compete on mapping. After all, content was the “next big thing” for advertising in 2000, but Apple didn’t run out and build a search engine. It will be hard for Apple to catch up on mapping, especially because all Google services are moving targets — they are always better tomorrow than they are today.
Eric Dye says
True.
Marcus Williamson says
It’s Apple. Be cool.

I don’t get why folks have their undies in a bunch. I’ve been using Apple Maps on iOS 6 beta for months and I think it’s awesome.
tgray says
same here. I find the new maps to be very accurate and turn by turn is great. no complaints here.
Eric Dye says
What’s your location?
Eric Dye says
Right. I think your location plays a big part. Perhaps they had the kinks all worked out in the highly populated areas, first.
Chad Gleaves says
In OKC the maps are fairly good, still use another GPS to fill the occasional gap but I’m loving the integration with maps and other apps.
