Q: Apple maps very disappointing

Tap the page curl at the bottom right corner in Maps. Tap the "Report a Problem" link.

I used to depend too much at my travel to china

Maps in English and Chinese , all street are there and most important was the metro lines

Very disappointing from apple this maps

May streets disappear , name of street not available, metro lines are not there

And the thing which need to improve they didn't do

Synchronize the book marks with other iPad or MacBook 

I hope apple goes back to old maps and take out the 3D it's not necessary

Apple needs to give us an easy way to back out of the new IOS until maps is fixed.

The new Iphone is kind of meh, I was expecting more but on balance it was worth upgrading. But this maps app is horrific - shocking that Apple actually released it.

Yes we all like street view as well, come on apple get the map back with street view, why the change to Tomtom maps anyway? It's alway good to take note of what you users want, not just what you want.

Dear Apple the new Maps App is awful needs to go back to the drawing borad - please either sort out these maps which I guess will take a year or two or Release a Gooole Map App ASAP

I think google maps app will be available soon with street view direct from google and not an apple add on.hope apple don't snub it. Listen apple listen to the people.

If Apple isn't careful, they're going to put themselves out of business!  It's this very thing that almost sank them several years ago.  WE should be able to CHOOSE what apps we want and don't want.  Their crappy "new and improved" maps *****!  It doesn't find many of the places I search for, when I know for fact they exist.  It doesn't show interestate exit numbers.  There are no contrasting color differences between a city street and major interstate.  Very lame!

IMO, Apple is doing this sh*t of releasing the horrible Maps because Steve Jobs is no longer around. We are pretty sure that Jobs would NOT allow the release of such horrible & reusable Maps. He gives his life & soul to make Apple to be successfully. I am not sure is his replacement is in sync or not. His current action is really unacceptable and undesirable.

I think the following quotes from Steve Jobs speaks out what is the current problem regarding Apple ios 6 and Apple maps.

"Our DNA is as a consumer company – for that individual customer who’s voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That’s who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it’s not up to par, it’s our fault, plain and simply."

"Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles."

"It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much."

"Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."

So please apple admit as soon as possible Apple Maps is a big mistake. Steve Jobs we miss you and your feeling for good products.

Apple Maps.

Two things occur to me about Apple Maps. Why spend all that time and money developing it when Google Maps is so good, unles this is nothing more than Apple wealding it's considerable power?

I fear a company that I have been a customer of since 1980, is becoming too big for its boots.

Secondly, I bought my Ipad with Google Maps as part of tha package. They have taken it away without my permissionor or consultation.Not a good way to look after your customers, especially when the replacement is so inferior.

Once Microsoft was a giant company and became arrogant. Now look at them !!

Watch out Apple, you don't own your customers.

I share your pain too

I've relied on google maps on ios for so long during my time here in Hong Kong, navigating around the city, looking up shops, finding addresses and now I feel like I've taken ten steps back in map technolgy. Will for sure have to find other apps to use whilst Apple needs to work furiously on their maps software. Googles data set is much much more refined. Building outlines were so helpful on the zoomed in views. I didn't realize how convenient and how much I relied on the maps app until I updated and had to use it to look for a place whilst I was out last night....I got so ****** with Apples app after it inaccurately gave me a street location and made me wander off a few blocks in the wrong direction

Hope Apple rectifies this very SOOOON! or give us Gmaps back!!!! FFS!!!

You can go to google maps using safari and then save it your home screen and use that.  A bit slower and no streetview

Agreed 100%

These statements are what made Apple the company it is. I hope they are able to get back on track.

Like many here, you sort of got this the wrong way round. It's not Apple wielding their power, it's Google wielding theirs. Google have been using their licensing to stop Apple using GoogleMaps to make a better product. By preventing Apple from adding functions like turn-by-turn navigation they have tried to lock Apple at a stage inferior to Android.

Apple had a difficult choice. Either stay with GoogleMaps and slowly watch Android pull ahead with no retort, or to develop their own mapping product.

The problem is though, a global mapping product to the standard of GoogleMaps takes years to develop and requires an active user community to tune. You can't just roll one out ready made. Not can you go buy an equivalent to StreetView, if we want that Apple will have to go collect the data with cars as google did, and that will take years too.

So Apple may seem arrogant here, but they were damned if they do and damned if they don't. So in the end they opted for the long term option.

And let's not forget Googles lack of ethics in how they collected the Map data; collecting Wifi SSIDs, passwords and email data. This is a corporation that has few qualms in their quest to dominate despite the interests of their users.

And if you still want GoogleMaps, you still have access to it via the browser (excluding StreetView which requires Flash). So is this really as big an issue as its being made out to be?
