I don't think anyone can warrant trying to defend Apple by saying Google Maps was once like this. I have never recalled the magnitude of comical errors in Google Maps or Earth since I started using them a long time ago, there were the odd few here and there, but nothing of this scale...the quality is just diabolical.
Seeing all those shocking gaffes makes me so glad I stick to Android....that is seriously one massive mistake Apple have made....

The worst part is even if Google release an app (i think they should wait a few months) because it is iOS there will be no way to make it the default.

It's also not like it's exotic places that no one would ever look up that are messed up.

Even if apple sorts out its issues (by what time Google will have further advanced its own mapping) its no help!
Yelp! is the failing factor. Google search has integrated business info which works. Its mapping is used by loads of websites (Premier Inn for example) for location info. That is the advantage Google has.

It's just better in every way, Google Maps is one of the best tools on a phone or desktop.
That's not really a proper comparison. You are showing the price Apple charges for a 16GB upgrade to it's phone (16GB > 32GB) and then compare it to the price Samsung + <A.N.Other Company> charge to increase the memory by the same amount before then saying Samsung don't rip off customers as much as Apple do.
If you are going to compare 2 companies then you need to keep it that way.
Apple may charge slightly more for the same memory upgrade but Samsung are not that far behind.
At least if you are going to **** off a company and promote another, keep the argument fair.
But is trounced by nokia maps which will come on all wp8 phones.
It is but as said above, Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are fantastic too.
Just skimmed this, its pretty funny really how desperate some are to defend Apple.
Its as simple as this : it wasn't ready.
Whoever gave the nod to let that go should be shot.
I can only presume they were so desperate to actually have some features to demo for iOS6 they were forced to release it.

It's more flexible though, having more than 1 means of upping storage. What about the battery? You don't need a soldering iron to replace one in other phones, plus you can buy a higher mAh rating than the stock battery and keep spares etc.
I love these threads on OcUK. The Mac boys and Google boys going at each other's throats

>People still respond to Glaucus' posts.
IMO it's a very bad move from Apple since replacing the default app will have a negative impact on millions of iOS users over the world.
Hopefully some negative feedback will force them to reconsider some of their worse practises.

Oh I get that but the argument was that Apple are charging way more than, in this case, Samsung for upping the memory when in fact they are quite similar when you compare them.
The battery I agree with for people that really use the phone and don't have access to charging all the time.... Plus it helps to be able to remove it should you drop it down the toilet/into a beer
At least it's good for something. That would be one way to get rid of Manu fans.

Well Nokia did buy Navtec so who specialised in mapping for years before Google even dreamt of Google Maps.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Not gonna lie, that looks EPIC!
