I think the lack of transit directions, poor blending of map images (http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/505cae6969bedd427a000012-413-310/apple-maps.png http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/505cae6969bedd427a0...) and the overall lack of detail is a massive reason to consider it a downgrade.
If you're honestly happier with this product then thats cool, but i'm not.
- Someone 14y agoHappier? No. For my uses, both apps are adequate. I do not use maps apps often, and I if do, it is the old-fashioned way: look at the map before I leave, possibly make a screen dump to make sure I'll have some map avaiable on the road, and use that screen dump if necessary to get where I need to be. I will, at some time, miss street view, though. Reading discussions, I also learnt and verified that iOS 6 location search is lousy (I think it doesn't know enough about statitics, or doesn't have enough statistical data (yet?). If one searches for, e.g. 'central station', it will happily return hits such as 'Starbucks central station' or 'the X hotel, central station' in favor of the actual train station. It should know that, when in doubt, it should go for the most often sought for hits)
