Anyway to get Maps working on Mavericks?

I guess the data would be updated, but you're missing lots of features. I live in New York City, so any map without public transit information is basically useless. I realize that's pretty unique to where I live—but if you drive, presumably you'd want traffic information, and that's also missing.

I just think it makes a million times more sense to use Google Maps as a Chromium webapp. Or maybe even the web version of Apple Maps once that's more feature complete.

Also, even before the Maps app died completely on Mavericks, I remember it displaying things incorrectly such as not marking bodies of water.

yeah, maps launch was catastrophic, and even caused the removal of aqua gui from their softwares

meh, as long as i can get gps, navigation, and information on pois/addresses, that would be enough

an interesting discovery, if you look up a location, it can actually find them, and if you click on one, it will show a pin on somewhere in the black void. if i click get directions, it will show the safety warning after about 3 minutes as if it's about to work, but then it just says route info is not available. when i click the directions button and enter in a location, it will capitalize the name, meaning it is able to see what i am trying to look up.
