Maps are very iterative. As someone in charge of mapping the 400 or so artists in Somerville Ma, I can say the first couple years we tried google maps, it was decent, yet imperfect. It gets better every year, but there were still some addresses that it put in the wrong place up to last year when it finally got the addresses right. Getting good maps takes a lot of time, it will take years for Apple and they might never be as good as google at it. But competition is good for all as it raises the bar. It seems to have some interesting feature like telling you if a restaurant is open graphically. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/09/review-ios-6-gets-the-spit-and-polish-treatment/ http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/09/review-ios-6-gets-the-s... Amazing how we've become so dependent on mobile maps.
