According to a followup article ( http://vore.cc/post/32503374905/old-maps-vs-new-maps http://vore.cc/post/32503374905/old-maps-vs-new-maps ) the old Maps app fails this exact test at least as badly. It just fails a bit differently. Whereas the new Maps app often says it can't find anything, the old one would for a similarly sized group of searches silently err on the side of finding a match that was wrong.

The problem is very simple: The same city name shows in in multiple countries and the old map just didn't know which one he wanted.
