Anyone else having problems with the navigation voice saying "Turn left" when it means and says turn right on the screen and vice versa? Mine has been doing it a lot lately, and I almost ran into a ditch today while trying to get somewhere I had never been.
Point being, there's no use in continuing a 130+ page thread with comments, it won't change anything.
The application was featured going on the iPhone OS (now iOS) classification since the release of the first-generation iPhone It was powered by Google Maps A new description was announced by Scott Forstall at the Apple international Developers Conference (WWDC) It is no longer motorized by Google Maps
I don't need street view of my street. If I want to see my street, I can walk outside. Seeing close up, high res photos of the ocean, Grand Canyon, Antarctica and other places where I may never go is more useful and interesting to me.
this is still going on.
bottom line is that maps will be on par with 'name mapping app here' in all areas with in a year.
For us in the states it already is. Stop wining and enjoy the phone.
Errr... how've you worked that one out then?
Given the current rate of fixes in my area of central London, and the amount of errors in those fixes, I've worked out that fixing the information within half a mile of my house to the level Google Maps is today is going to take over a hundred years...
Come on....100 years. It didn't take google that long.
Granted, from what I have heard it seems outside of the US, the Apple maps has a VERY long way to go. But judging from using the early beta versions of apple maps and the vast improvements with each beta release, I can see apple having this worked out within a year world wide.
Haha you poor bastard. It's not going to be all fixed within a year, not going to have Apple Street View within a year, and I couldn't give a **** if the US is mapped properly because it ain't here anymore.this is still going on.

You must spend all your days as a tourist.
How am I a poor bastard? Apple maps works just fine for me.
But I understand your fustration, and it will all go away once your particular area is 'fixed' in apple maps.
You do pay for it in part of the price of your 'i' device so it should work better than it does. Forstall needs to up his game on this.
That's weird...I swear I just paid the same price for a phone that is more than twice as fast, taller, lighter and even has turn by turn directions.

Funny, I live in the States and the new maps are completely useless in my neighborhood.
That's like saying the ability to browse the web or check email is free. They aren't.
I chose an iPhone because of the features it offered. That includes the maps and the ability to upgrade the OS for years to come and I most certainly did pay for them when I purchased the phone and as I buy apps for it.
Even worse is that, features and apps that I have been using are now rendered useless because of the new maps.
Here it is, over a month later, nothing has changed in my area and there still isn't an estimate on when, if ever, things may be fixed.
Speaking of Forstall...
When was the last keynote that he wasn't invited to? Something happening at 1 Infinite Loop?
