I'm still waiting for Apple maps not to work...
When that happens I'll be sure to report it...

Wow. Apple Maps is a disaster.

I was only pointing out google can be wrong.
People were claiming google was the be all and end all with public transport, but I've never had any success with it in the last 5 years since moving to where I am now, even one time it wanted me to catch a bus going the wrong direction and another time wanting me to catch a bus that didn't exist, but apple maps' integration with transit apps has been brilliant, linking me to a new app that ties into maps and was very accurate.
Now I'm not saying apple maps is perfect or anything, they need to get the data fixed and sort out the yelp connection as its clearly not getting all it can there, the yelp app shows the 5 pubs within half mile of my house, but yelp's data in apple maps only shows ones a mile away or more
Only selected cities are currently available but more will be rolled out.
Check the ones listed .
There's also a [url=http://flyovercities.com/]site dedicated to Flyover Cities in iOS 6 .

It's not available in every city. A list can be found in:

Once you enter in the city into the Map, use two fingers to change the camera's elevation and rotate.
I tried The Big Apple but it didn't work. Only 3D models (not real)

I figured it out , thanks guys .. Bottom right theres a flap
Someone was supposed to make a statement, but he couldn't find the conference centre
I'm currently on business in the Philippines - Cebu City. In the past, Google Maps was invaluable because it had pretty much every POI marked. Even when taking a cab late at night, I could always check to see if the taxi was moving in the right direction.
Apple Maps is useless, here and pretty much everywhere in Asia. Last month, I couldn't find a hospital building in Korea. One thing I've noticed is that Apple Maps goes out of its way to list hospitals prominently. The only problem is that they're not in the correct locations.
At this point, Apple Maps isn't just an inconvenience, it's become a safety and security issue.
As someone who travels significantly to foreign destinations all over the world, the iPhone was te greatest thing that happened to me. I've been using iPhones since the original 2007, upgrading every year.
Now, I am no longer in a position to even think about going with the iPhone 5. This is the opinion of many travelers I meet in airports and hotels all over the world. Last night, I had a long conversation about this with a couple of random guys at a karaoke bar.
Apple really screwed this up. None of Tim Cook's suggestions are even remotely viable or fully replace iOS 5's map functionality for people who aren't in the US.

That is a good tip, I'm always paranoid a cab will run up my bill in a foreign place. A shame I'm usually drunk when in a cab lol.
What? Is the topic slowing down? Siri, please give us a hint which exit to take out of this roundabout of hell!
Maybe safety and security issues? Have they been discussed enough already?
Would you rather being cheated by taxi driver or being robbed because he wants the shiny new iPhone 5 you just pulled out of your pocket to see if he cheats you?
My biggest complaint is that when you search for a location, it almost always gives you the wrong information.
I was searching for a UPS store and it gave me everything but the one I was looking for.

Or worse yet a foreigner set up for a crime. Any advance notice of possible suspicious activity is valuable. I travel through China at various hours and haven't had an issue but I'm vigilant.
When in foreign risky places such as South America I try to carry local newspaper and some local packaged food to help give the appearance I'm familiar with my surroundings. Anything to lessen being a planned target.
The drunk comment made me laugh.

Brilliant stuff Boxer, although I had to show the others at work what I was laughing out loud at!
And has anyone else noticed Woolworths still exist according to Apple Maps?
I just checked 'Find my iPhone' to see where the missus is, and it would seem she's close by (despite it being closed about 3 years ago)

Ha! Here's something for Apple to think about:
Google is sending the street view camera down the Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon!

Of course, it's been said often enough in this thread that nobody ever needs street view, right?

I think I would prefer street view of something someone might need more...like my 12 year old neighborhood.
For all their talk about hiking paths and the ocean, you would think they would actually cover streets.
Amazing that people will state that flyover is completely useless yet praise Google for taking pictures of a trail that gets less traffic than my street.
Probably about right....and if you think anyone will believe that 5 million people actually walk down that trail in a year, your smoking something illegal.
5 million is the number of visitors that actually "look" at the entire Grand Canyon...usually from their cars at overlooks....that's right, most of them are fat asses that can't even get out of their car to take in the view.
Do they walk the trail? No. Do they see it? Yes.
Of course, it has to be that they're all fat asses who choose to not take the hike... and not typical families with small children or retirees who would be unable to make the trek.
Unless you lived on a major roadway in NYC, I seriously doubt you have 5 million unique visitors crossing it yearly.
Of course I don't, but don't try to lead people on here to believe that millions of people get anywhere near that trail.
According to the park service, "thousands" walk it every year...I'm guessing that means less than 10,000 or they would have said as much.
The point is, while I can appreciate the ability to "visit" the trail even though I may never hike it, this is no different than what is provided by flyover (although, I think flyover actually helps with navigation even if not at the level of detail provided by streetview.)
