Yeah, I've been using iOS 6 and the new Maps is fine. It's not perfect, I guess, but there were issues with the old, Google-based app as well. The thing about Apple is they iterate quickly on things like this, so I expect that the kinks with their map app (backend, dataset-related issues included) will be ironed out soon.

- JumpCrisscross 14y agoI prefer the Yelp integration, which gives me reasonably reliable ratings, reviews, and hours, to Google's albeit larger dataset. The 3D buildings also pack a strong "wow" punch, though more how flying around satellite view on the first iPad did than in any practical sense. That said, the map "feel" is still clunky - I don't need 30th St, 31st St, 32nd St, 33rd St, etc. individually labelled and its iconography gets visually crowded.
- magicalist 14y ago> The thing about Apple is they iterate quickly on things like this do they? I don't doubt their ability to solve hard problems elegantly (if a problem happens to be one they want to solve), but I can't think of any strong parallels to this that would suggest that. Their other services seem to iterate on much the same time scales as their major app and OS releases (especially in the last 5 years).
