Everyone saying Apple is finally taking Maps seriously: shit does that mean they brought their C game against Google?
Their serious "A" game against Google was what you saw with the first version. And it stunk. Just terrible. It wasn't that they weren't "serious" about Maps. Apple just completely dropped the ball. Terrible data, no bus/transit routes without third party apps (if this wasn't a huge red flag for, "we are not ready to release Maps" I don't know what is), and an icon that subconsciously told their users to drive off a bridge.
They assumed users would give them a pass on their lack of data because they would be too busy being wowed by the Flyover views. Well they were wrong.

Failings which contributed to an SVP being ousted and a huge amount of investment being made to catch up. Seems more like they came out with their "C" game and are now trying to ramp it up to their "A" game.
