Re: The iPhone thread

Apples own map app has already recieved a huge amount of coverage, but for all the wrong reasons. Poor satellite imagery, places being spelled wrong and places missing or in the wrong place.

Anil Dash, a respected blogger and director of technology incubator Expert Labs, slams Apple's new Maps app as being inferior to the Google-powered Maps app in iOS 5 and earlier. "When you buy an iOS 6 device, you get a worse experience for search and no ability to get transit directions out of the box, both of which are significant downgrades from iOS 5," he wrote in a lengthy blog post on Wednesday.

There is a way to sort of get Google maps back.

Go to Safari and visit maps.google.co.uk and click yes to find my location and then from the bar at the top click add to home screen. You will then have a nice little shortcut to the web app
