Q: Apple maps very disappointing

Having just downloaded iOS 6 I am hugely disappointed with apple maps. In the UK many town names are wrong, with some missing; roads are all the same colour; satellite image resolution is not as good as it was previously. Sure, the 3D map in London is good but it only covers an area a few square miles, so is currently more of a gimmick.

 

So questions i have...

1) Are others experiencing the same?

2) Will it get better and if so how quickly?

3) Will there be a google maps app released soon?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

    Chris CA even if he has the method to alter what you write he won't do it because he doesn't get it..

    Right but now your saying this. But it's not really you. but now you said it.


    So yes we can all alter what is written.

     

    I guess it's another flaw in the system.

    So why don't you help all the hackers in finding an exploit for the A5 chip to allow downgrading those devices too?

     

    That really would be a help to a lot of people, and no doubt if you diverted all your effort posting here to that task you'd solve it in no time.

     

    Because as stated earlier, I'm no coder or developer, that's why.  I'm just a lonely little ******** idiot that came here hoping to find others in the same boat as I, which I did.  Problem, I also found people who have been here a little longer and seem to think the rest of us are truly ********, I must be.  But I know if enough pressure is put on Apple, they'll do the right thing.

    Thank you for the fantastic advice.  People like you are the reason why forums like this are very helpful.

    That's pretty cool but I don't use Facebook.  It was another on my list of complaints before the final of iOS 6 was released, them sticking FB all into the OS.  But I'll keep my eye on it... can't hurt to have it and maybe it'll draw some attention.

     

    What the Levels and fanboys here don't seem to see or understand is what most people here complaining want.  They either want Google Maps back into the OS, YouTube back into the OS or a complete revert back to iOS 5.

     

    It goes deeper than that, there are more problems that just those 2 listed, battery life is another, email issues is also a concern.  The list goes on... read around enough and you'll find all kinds of issues, a huge pile of them.  So in my opinion and some others... resigning 5.1.1 is the ONLY answer to the problem until all the issues are accounted for and fixed.  And despite what some of the more intelligent people here believe, it's as easy and as simple as flipping a switch, won't take 15 minutes to get iTunes to let me take my iPhone 4S that's currently on iOS 6 and downgrade it back to iOS 5 (5.1.1).  Apple just doesn't want to... that's all that's keeping many of us from being happy again.

     

    But hey, it was only about 700 bucks for the phone, throw it away... only got a few hundred tied up in my iPod Touch, toss it out too... and my iPhone 4... 2 years of paying for a contract on that plus the 200 bucks I laid out for it... toss it.  It's just money, it doesn't matter to anyone but Apple and they've got plenty so to hades with my money.

    WOW...... now that's pretty common.  Just WOW....  Man, Apple is really something aren't they?  You either enter into this whole hearted and with blinders on or you're just not in the circle at all huh?  Man, Apple just turkey-tapped us yet again... wow...

    TOU section 2, rules 4 and 6... probably.  Cause it might just attract some attention and actually help somebody in the long run of bringing the heat on.

    That man right there read the rules before he signed on... give that man super-moderator status, ASAP.

     

    Check your email Jesper, if you didn't get a warning from Apple, keep posting the link until you do.

    Naw, don't want to be a moderator. It means you have to deal with some pretty ignorant people.
