Within a week of its launch, I used the product in three different cities and multiple less urban locations on the east and west coasts. I had no major problems. I'm know there were problems with maps, but a lot of the teeth gnashing was/is exaggerated drama. Google routinely places silly things at the corner of Van Ness and Market, because it has no idea where they belong -- you just don't hear about it because nobody nitpicks Google Maps the way they did Apple's launch.
