I'll have you know that "this awesome airport" is Toronto Pearson International Airport, a damn fine airport. (so excuuuussseeeeeee me!)
The same thing happened with the University of Waterloo. Google Maps showed all the buildings, all the walking paths... everything. iOS Maps just show an empty brown blob. |

| It does look damn fine. Looks like a lot of fun to take off. Kinda like a roller coaster.. |

Maps is about the ONLY thing working for me in iOS6 and it's way faster in acquisition and loading than Google Maps ever was. Way faster scrolling and zooming too. Puts my Android devices to shame. Way more accurate with traffic predictions and routing as well. Google would always send me on a walkabout saying it will be 10 minutes when its way out of the way and closer to 45 minutes. Finally traffic maps I can actually use.
Certainly better than the disastrous Youtube app that is worse than even the frame dropping POS on Android which I thought would be impossible. It doesn't even have full screen. Google could F up a chocolate cake. |

Apparently that horse has tried to use the Apple Maps app too.
You gotta admit, this maps app thing is pretty bad on Apple's part. But hey, we have fly-overs, kinda. Maybe fly-overs are there so we can get to those rooftop gas stations.

Bullshit. Gizmodo compared google maps to apple maps and google won every time by a margin.

Maybe fly-overs are there so we can get to those rooftop gas stations. Yeah and iPhone v.1 didn't have copy and paste...that totally killed the product.
With all of the bullshit fighting with Google, this is a move they had to make and probably in a short timeframe. Perhaps they should have called this one a beta as well (like Siri), but I agree with just about everyone here that the maps are in need of tweaking.
I have done some informal testing here in LA and it's working pretty good for me compared to Google. I still have 5.x on my iPad for this very thing and Apple is keeping up with what I need it for.
Gizmodo actually has an interesting video posted where some searches, when put in perspective, lean in Apple's favor. Example: if you're searching for 'heathrow' you're sent to Heathrow, FL in iOS 6 instead of Heathrow Airport in London (with Google in 5.x). To me that makes sense if you live in the US...not so much if you're doing this search in the UK.

Bullshit, I'm actually using the app and looking at my routes. The Apple maps actually shows me accurate routing time which Google Maps NEVER did. Google was ALWAYS off not my minutes but tens of minutes. Apple isn't sending me 20 miles out of my way either, unlike routing in Google Maps which always sent me on SR22 at rush hours instead of I405 to get to south Orange County. |

Too bad it's not accurate. My friend just told me it told him to turn right on a left only road.
Official reply from Apple:

Hm. I drove from St. Louis, all around Colorado, down to New Mexico and back using Google Maps without issue. Every few months, I spend a week in Chicago driving all over using Google maps without issue. The routing information parks me right in front of every door step every time and I've been using it like this for at least 3 years.
btw, if you don't like Apple's maps, you can go to maps.google.com. |

I forgot. One of my sons just got back from his second trip to Minnesota where he and his friends used Google Maps for all their directions, up there/around/and back. |

I must be doing it wrong because it SUCKS for me. Navigation does nothing. Where is the turn by turn?......or does that not do that on the iPad?
