Good artists copy; great artists steal. TBH this is long overdue.

  Did you notice the part where they’ve been working on it since about a year or two after the original Maps launched? Making good a new globe covering map data layer is not exactly a 9mo project.

    It took 2 years after the first abomination to realize they needed to start over? For a company that has almost a quarter trillion in capital in the bank, yes this is slow and overdue and a bit embarrassing. Maybe navigation directions will appear in the touch bar though. Im being a bit snarky but this isn't a proud moment for Apple.

      The first one had to be rushed into production because Google forced their hand with renewing the existing contract. It sounded like many inside knew it wasn’t ready. Forstall lost his job over it, didn’t he?

        I agree with all that, but it's also been 7 years. It's just been a long time and a disappointing result.
