You joined this discussion forum just yesterday and this is your first post? In a dead thread? I'm curious as to why you chose this particular forum to introduce yourself. Strange.

It is incredible that Apple seem unconcerned about their reputation. One can't blame TomTom as their maps on my iPhone TomTom application are more detailed. What have Apple bought from them?

The Apple maps are still pretty bad in places here in the US also.
My wife and I were driving to a historical park in our capital city and decided to double check the route because there are many one way streets in the area. My wife upgraded to an iphone 5 not long ago and couldn't get the park to come up by searching in Maps. I was driving and so handed her my iphone 4 with IOS 5 still on it and she brought it up in the old Maps in a few seconds and we were good to go. I don't have any plans to upgrade at this point until things improve.

Thats how they are on here. I've been on many other forums that are much more helpful. Here, they're just ready to pounce. Honestly, I wouldn't bother with these people. They're not helpful, they're just eager to be rude to someone.
When you spout nonsense and your only intention is to talk trash, when you state personal opinion as indisputable fact, when you really don't want help but are looking for comfrimation of your biased opinion then yes, you will be pounced upon. And you should be.
Stallance is not asking for help with anything. Stallance's purpose is to rant and trash.

Jun 28, 2013 10:26 PMby Kaka Dongguan,In my humble oppinion, we don't need a Beautiful Map! We need something that works!
Maps from IOS 5 worked good, we also can find bus routes! Amazing! But now we can't find bus routes and, if can, the routes are wrong!
Maybe a couple of people are thinking: "But if you have iPhone/iPad, spending a lot of money buying an idevice, you need to take bus?" The answer is completly simple: not just me, but a lot of people!
I am currently living in China, that if you are in a bus, one person of four has iPhone! It means, 25% of a poputation that ride bus are not interested to open Apple Maps because, because... It is useless for them (and for me).
It is difficult to everybody understand why it is necessary a good map with bus routes… but even Chineses is totally dificult to figure it out the exactly bus line and bus station to take the right bus and go somewhere. There are lots here!
So, please, build a Map that works, simply works. 3D view is just makeup, spending too much money to build something usefull instead of build usefull tools.
Hope someone concern about a oppinion from milions of Chineses Apple users..
Cheers

Even though you thingk that Maps in IOS5 is as the same as Google maps, no, it's not. This is theory, not practice… there is any map with the same quality as Maps from IOS5.
