Apple maps very disappointing

I agree with all of the above.

Apple maps is crippling. If I could revert to iOS5 I would stick with Apple, because my company uses many iOS devices. Switching to Samsung / Android will be costly

I am starting by discarding my six months old iPhone and upgrading to a Samsung that runs Google maps in a native manner. Then I plan to upgrade another five iOS devices from Apple to Samsung/Google. If that goes well, the reamining iuOS devices go.

Apple, you have made me a true Android convert!

Well i baught a CAR because it supports CarPlay. Only to find that maps is not available in Saudi Arabia and Apple does not allow Google Maps in its CarPlay!

Dears at Apple, if you can't make it in some countries, give google a chance

Please read any of the many existing threads that have been discussing the so-called maps "upgrade" for some time.

All your questions have been answered many times already.

Im here in the US and if you go to google.com and view maps on the full site then there is a pop-up that asks if you would like to add the mobile app version to your home screen. This puts the google maps app on your phone. It is web based and at least on my phone is slow to load up but the resolution is what you were used to before the update.

I have downloaded the google maps app.

I am anoyed that i even bothered to update to ios 6. Tha apple maps app is useless. The other apps that use the links to it are now useless as well. Thanks apple.

I share your pain with the new Apple Maps. Since upgrading to iOS6 the new Apple Maps is useless in the Uk. I looked at where my parents live in the West Midlands. All the place names are in completely the wrong places. E.g. Dudley is where Hagley is. Stourbridge is not even shown. Oldbury is about 15 miles in the wrong place. I noticed this in the space of 3 minutes! God knows how much of Maps is actually correct. I certainly wouldn't trust it to get me anywhere!

I know the reasons why Apple wanted to move from Google Maps but to release something that is just not fit for purpose is beyond me. I have bought many Apple products over the years, iPods, imac, MacBook, etc etc and this change to maps has left me very angry. I have the iPhone 5 on order for delivery on Friday and I am now seriously considering cancelling it and moving to Android ( I didn't think I would ever say that!). The rest of iOS6 is great but Maps has destroyed all the good in iOS.

Apple, please give us Google Maps back until your own product is equal to Google's offering.

At least Apple's huge mistake has saved me £600!

Crikey! I thought my hometown having moved about a mile North was bad. Dudley has moved about TEN MILES SOUTH.

How can these maps be so ludicrously full of errors? Surely tomtoms original maps can't be this bad?

I'm afraid it's even worse than I first thought. I've looked around the area I live in Sussex and there is just so many mistakes I'm starting to think I must be dreaming, well more like a nightmare! Tom Toms original maps for car navigation are good but Tom Tom are not a mapping company. I hate to say it but I think Apple are on the slippery slope! I'm incredibly disappointed in Apple for releasing an app that is no where near fit for purpose!

IF Apple want to retain their customers and the loyalty they have had, they really need to think about putting the Google Maps app back to download from the store.

I am very very angry at Apple right now and my iPhone 5 that is being delivered on Friday is going straight back to them.

I suggest everybody sends feedback to Apple about this. That's the only chance we have at getting our concerns noted.

Also, use the "Report a problem" button in the Maps app itself when you tap a location, or pin that is incorrect.

I completely agree. It is quite unbelievable that Apple has not checked the accuracy of the maps. I've posted feedback as per Julian Wright's note above. I think contacting the BBC about this might help sway Apple into giving us Google Maps back until Apple have a product that is equal to Google's

leave feedback in the maps app, tell apple because we cant make the maps app better only apple can

I can't believe this Maps change and all the errors has got me so annoyed. I just tweeted Rory Cellen-Jones, the Tech Journalist at the BBC about The Maps mess!
