There are enough articles that re-enforce that Apple Maps (in its current incarnation) are sorely lacking, even in popular areas... A few examples, - Park Hyatt Tokyo - Tokyo Railway Station (the MAIN station) - Paddington Station in London - Melbourne Aus and Frankfurt Germany Airport roads - Hong Kong is misplaced http://www.ausbt.com.au/6-reasons-travellers-should-be-wary-of-apple-maps-in-ios-6 http://www.ausbt.com.au/6-reasons-travellers-should-be-wary-... The list goes on across the net. I support several other posters in that only an Apple fan would say that the maps are good overall. All you will hear from these people is how TomTom had a bad map 5 years ago, or how Garmin is missing a 3 year old suburb in their area. The fact is that in this instance, Apple stuffed up severely. It was a brave decision of Apple to go ahead with this version of maps - they would have known full well just how bad it was. Maybe it's the kick in the butt that Apple needed to catch up quickly. I expect that within 6 months, the situation will be a lot better for Apple.
