Very very unhappy.
And I hate to say it, way way back in beta 1 I predicted maps wouldn't be ready.
They aren't ready. The vector maps aren't too bad, but the rasters (imagery) is inconsistent and crap. This is with the GM.
There are going to be thousands of angry customers on 19th September when their phones are downgraded!

That is not the point.
iPhone customers are used to the google experience, and Apple maps are going to be a severe downgrade.
I for one will be complaining. Where I live the imagery is pin sharp on Google Maps, it's bloody awful pixelated rubbish on Apple maps. It's a shame, because they have neglected what is the easiest thing to get right. It's just a collection of TIFF files mosaicked together FFS. I do this every day in my day job. It really isn't hard to get it right.
