« I don’t doubt mapping is hard, but Apple’s previous solution (i.e. using Google data) provided a robust and feature-rich experience for users. At best, Maps for iOS 6 is spotty and, apparently, just a tad US-focussed. For movie sales, that’s fair enough, but for maps it’s simply not good enough. Maps aren’t nice-to-have, but a crucial component of a modern mobile OS. This is worse than a MobileMe moment, and Cook needs to usher his team into a room, ask them what Maps was supposed to do, and then yell something along the lines of: ”So why the fuck doesn’t it do that?
I’m not even sure if I should install iOS 6, or wait for Google to release its own maps app first. I rely on iPhone’s maps app a lot. Ah, who am I kidding, I can’t wait. I’ll just let future me get stranded somewhere map-less.
