Apple Maps are absolutely horrible
I think this is the worst Apple app I have ever seen. In just one day I've found:
- The maps (I'm in Ohio) are poorly rendered
- There are many misspellings - just in my city
- The gridwork while the maps are loading is annoying
- Most businesses that used to be listed are missing. Just blank spots on blank-looking roads. The maps, even in business districts, look like wastelands.
- Routes - First you have to "search" for a destination, then click the Route arrow. But then for the Start window, you are restricted to just "Current Location"!!!!
- There is no way to put in bookmarks, recents, or contacts in the Start window! If you don't want "current location" you have to manually type an address in. UNACCEPTABLE!! This is definitely a bug.
- For that matter, once you have a route page with Start and End, there is no way to access a list of contacts, bookmarks, or recents for EITHER the Start or End window!
- Today I tried to load a route, and a bar came up saying "routing apps" and then showed me a screen of routing apps and reviews !?
- 3D is a joke. "Flyover" only works in giant cities, and even then I see a blank grid for at least a minute before it finally renders.
Is there any way to keep the ios 6 update but go back to the great Google Maps??
