Google Maps = total suckage

It's the first time I've used it so can't comment for pre 2.0

It doesn't seem that bad to me however, just a bit laggy

 

I like everything about it except for 2 things:

1.) No streetview - not a big deal
2.) Gives me DRIVING directions - OK I live in Boston, I don't have a car, I walk or bike so driving directions are totally useless to me.

 

Agreed... it's really wonderful, but for instance, while it shows train lines on the map and shows icons for stations, unlike the normal maps.google.com, you cannot actually touch a train station and figure out which station it is or which lines it serves....

But I think the OP is specifically looking for validation on whether there are bugs / problems that are unique to Maps on 2.0 and did not exist in 1.1.4?

 

Well what kind of directions would you like. Walking directions. Would'nt they be the same.

 

There are some bugs, I have an old iPhone 16GB and since I've updated, I've used google maps less and less. I also get the lag for the bookmarks and I feel like the localization feature has gotten worse.

 

No, unfortunately driving directions are different from "shortest route there" direction via foot/bike because of one way streets.

 

Type train stations in the serach field and it should pop them up with push pins.


2.0 is definitely laggy hopefully they fix that. With all the crap microsoft gets apple has gotten a mostly free ride on this.
