i don't think apple maps is all that bad. but i use it for guidance, i usually have looked up vaguely where i'm headed first

Me neither but Google maps has more to it.

I kinda laugh when I hear people complain about how apple maps doesn't provide them with bus routes or that their iPhones alarm made them late for work/a flight etc. technology is good but some people, usually the Shermans, are far too dependant on it!

They probably are on the map but a different location

A few local shops in the village I live in we're on the map 5 miles away in another town.

Siri is just as bad I asked where the nearest pub was from my house and he told me the nearest one was 12 miles away
Nearest one was less than a mile away

Asked where the nearest tesco was when I was inside tesco and it told my it was 18 miles away

Thanks for the heads up for google maps

apple maps didnt work for me either, my local shop had the name it had over 7 years ago and was a petrol station? (its a small local shop) and manchester which is 70 miles west from my house is on the maps east wards???

Used the nav for the usual run today. Was fine I suppose but did find there was a slight lag between me making a turn and the nav telling me to!

Think ill stick with tomtom for iPhone.
