"Is it Apple Maps bad?" --Gavin Belson, Silicon Valley This one line will forever cement exactly how bad Apple Maps' release was. Thanks Mike Judge!

  Yup. Just remember the episode. IIRC in that context Apple Maps was placed even worse than Windows Vista.

    I would agree with that. Apple Maps was worse than the hockey puck mouse or the trashcan macpro. trying to decide if it is worse than the butterfly keyboard, but I think the keyboard wins for the shear fact that it impacted me in a way that was uncorrectable where I could just use a different Maps app

  I agree, but lately (as in the past month) I've been finding myself using apple maps more and more than google. When on a complicated highway interchange, the 3d view that Apple Maps gives for which exit to take is a life-saver

    Recently I used Apple Maps much more than Google Maps. In addition to trying to de-Googlify my life, there was also an occurance where Google Maps literally tried to kill me: at an intersection that connects into a highway it guided me to drive straight into the opposite direction to a highway, straight onto the coming cars at 140km/h. I've quit Google Maps right there and never used it again.

Yeah. Forgot that one. When it first came out it was terrible. Apparently so terrible that Apple apologized, perhaps for the first (and last) time for something.

  They didn’t apologize about the direction the pro macs were going a few years back but they certainly listened and made amends for it with the recent Pro line and MacBook Pro enhancements
