apple maps are still disapointing. remote areas are still not covered, infact most of the areas are missing from the maps. problems are reported hundred of times, but no reply (although we cannot expect a reply), or no solutions have been given.

Do you have a question for this user-to-user support forum, that your fellow users can answer?
If you're not happy with Apple Maps, use an alternative - there are many.
In addition to Julian's comment, here's one more thought:
If you have specific area(s) that Apple Maps needs improvement in, you can click the lower right corner of the Apple Maps application and click "Report a Problem"
Dou mind if i discuss the way i am doing right now julian? I posted it because i want to post it. 😉 dont mind please.
i tried it mate, bt of no avail. I wanna know if google is goin to be in any contract (again) with apple or nt?
The terms of service of this community prevent us from speculating about future actions Apple (and other vendors) may or may not take.
This is a technical support forum, where people come and ask questions that fellow users answer. You didn't ask a question.
If you have comments intended for Apple to read, post them here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Otherwise, post a technical question that we can answer.
If you want to know what Google or Apple intend to do in the future, you need to ask them. None of us here work for either Google or Apple so have no way of knowing what discussions, if any, are going on between the two companies.
However, logic dictates that since Apple have invested years of time and money in their own mapping solution, they are extremely unlikely to switch back to a third-party solution.
If you want Google Maps, just download their app from the AppStore.
Between the copious bugs and their stalwart refusal to provide turn-by-turn directions to older phones (where "old"= iPhone 4!!), Apple has really embarrassed themselves with this one.
I recommend the Google Map app, which is vastly superior in every way. The only unfortunate thing is there's no way to make it the default.
thank you julian for your relevent reply. i wd definately use the link provided by you. i apreciate you spent your time to reply me.....i wd write on apple too, but as we all know, they are not free to reply every one of us. so i am just tryn to fetch sm information from the users, WHOEVA WD LIKE TO PROVIDE ME SM INFORMATION, OR SOURCES OF INFORMATION, IF THEY WD LIKE TO.

What information are you expecting to get? If you don't like the Apple Maps app, use a different app. Use the Feedback link to complain to Apple. Report problems with Maps from the app.
Maps works fine for me, by the way.
i wd like to invite you in my country to use apple maps. you are most welcome my friend.
So go back to using Google Maps or something else that suits you.
for sure my friend. 🙂 thank you. btw i ve seen apple maps whreva it wrks, its outstanding. i hope they will update thm soon to cover most of the areas.
I think, Mr Julian Wright, that you do not need to be so rudely dismissive of your fellow user. If you don't like a post, you have the option of ignoring it and moving on in stead of being pompous. I happen to agree with salman88. He comments not just on Apple Maps, but also on the forum. It is a rare thing that one actually finds an answer to a problem in the forums. There is no reason why Apple could not use this as a vehicle for addressing issues, in stead of leaving it to pompous little individuals like yourself. Did you honestly think that you were adding any value with your bad-tempered advice? I think not...
And the same goes to meg. It seems to be an attribute of a Level 7 contributor: behave like jumped up little forum policemen...
