I’m not here to defend Apple’s painfully slow rollout, but Maps is pretty great in Europe. I use it daily and in over a dozen countries and it rarely disappoints.SARC ON: Really, you think they could handle the most bycle-friendly place on the planet?
Kidding aside, they really are late to the game here. In Europe, I never use apple maps, it's hopeless frankly. Rumour had it that they would take 10 years to catch up to google, well it's been at least 10 years and they are ages behind still... Unless they build an index of the internet as google has, I wonder if they will ever be able to catch up frankly... Maps are really much more than simply the streets on a page...
It does suck as a business directory. But for navigation, traffic and detours it does a great job.
