I knew it was bad from all the bad rap it was getting when it came out but surely it's not this hopeless? What's described in the article is almost comically terrible.

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

Interesting, i like Google maps much better anyway.

Apple maps are about as accurate as a map of Mordor is to navigate through Arkansas.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Not sure if that says more about Apple Maps or the people who blindly follow it's directions.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

I laughed my ass off when I went to the App Store, and saw a category for Alternative Navigation Apps.

Yup, Apple is driving people to better maps now...

I use new maps all the time and have only had 1 problem with it saying a gas station was 3 blocks away from where it was really was.

RIP Logan ~B.B.

Reminds me of the episode of the Office where Steve Carell drives his car into the lake because the GPS told him to turn right. I wonder how much of this is truly Apple's fault, and how much is just lack of common sense and over-reliance on software to think for you. Either way, it's kinda funny to see (since no one is hurt) Apple take such a public black eye after their patent fight that alienated google in the first place.

Good to see at least a little bit of karma coming back to bite them after they start trying to sue the rest of the industry out of business.
