I agree that the 3D and satellite views need some work (my entire town is grayscale) but the actual map looks really sharp and from what I've see it looks pretty accurate. The standard map is what I used on Google 99% of the time so as long as Apple has that down I'm happy.
 
Uh, I didn't buy it. I updated my device. I'm left with no option, can't you see? :rolleyes:

Oh, you didn't know it was coming with new maps - and then they forced your with no other option to update your device. You do know you can download google maps for free? Good luck in your future endeavors.
 
I'm pretty sure the bug will be fixed soon. Relax everyone.

It's unacceptable. I don't care if it's still new, it shouldn't have been shipped if it wasn't complete. I would have rather taken Google Maps and waited than received a half baked product that's supposed to headline as a major new feature. Yes it has more features than the old one but accuracy is what is more important, not how pretty it looks. Search around on twitter and you'll find people driving in completely wrong directions or getting lost with it. At least provide us with an option to use one or the other. I understand the licensing ran out. Pay for a temporary extension or pay just so your users are happy. Apple can afford it. I don't know why some users here are misinforming other users saying that the old maps app is available in the app store when it isn't.

Everyone yelled "It's still in beta!" when someone made a remark about the maps application before today. Well, guess what? It's not in beta anymore so what's the excuse?

Some here weren't around or don't remember when Apple revamped .Mac and screwed it up. Steve flipped his lid as we've learned later in the future. I get it, he's gone and the show must go on. The question is if Apple is still as strict with perfecting its products as its known to be. Regardless of how sympathetic you want to be because it's a new application or look at the bright side doesn't make it okay. If this was a Microsoft or Android launch everyone would be laughing.

Google maps started from somewhere and it's pretty ****** still. just go ahead and get an android. no one is making you stay with Apple :confused:
 
A lot of people in the tech world and on this site are truly ungrateful spoiled brats who need to get a life. Furthermore, Gizmodo is a jerk pit, always was and always will be.

Never have I seen such bitchy, ungrateful people as I do surrounding the tech sites and this one, truly pathetic...

Sorry about this folks, having used it now I am blown away that they did this, it is pretty bad, I am ticked they do not have public transportation on it. Bring on the Google Maps App, this blows!
