I have it installed but never use it. The maps situation on the iPhone is really too bad, it used to be Apple's app with Google's data. Best of both worlds. Now you get to choose between Google's janky app and Apple's incorrect data.
- mullingitover 13y agoOddly, in my experience Google's data has been bad (e.g. giving me directions to take a freeway off-ramp that has been closed for construction for months, and still routing me to the same close off-ramp a month after I reported it) and the app itself has been stellar. Their robot voice is the absolute best in the game right now, it actually sounds like you're getting directions from a human and not a tin can.
- badman_ting 13y agoPanning around in Google's app is laggy on my iPhone 4S, perhaps it is better on the iPhone 5. Interesting about the data, obviously that is going to depend on locality. In the beginning, Apple's data was embarrassingly wrong around here (Oregon). Not sure about now, though I suppose they are "working on it".
