Mobile OSs Google Navigation just got clapped!!

Also despite how you may want to picture me as an obese nerdy fanboy, I am actually a fitness model that looks like I walked straight out of an Abercrombie catalog in real life.

Did your mom tell you that?

Please stop acting like I'm not one of the smartest and most perceptice, self aware humans alive on Earth today. Thank you.

Please tone down the jealousy overall. And if you don't like my discussions you don't have to come here and post VegasTouch and LordoftheReef. My threads are rare and one of many you can participate in. This is a place for Apple fans so the haters need to stop being so arrogant and aggressive.

In a nutshell, you guys are just mad the one advantage Google had as a major selling point for Android fans to argue over has been made obsolete.

iMaps doesn't have to be better to be better because its better simply since its on iOS--which is Way better.

Would you rather be pictured as this? Remember, the files are in the computer!

Someone that has to state the above has some real self-esteem issues.

Oh wait.. i can play this too....

I'm a supermodel for GQ, beat that!!!! Yah!!!

I would beat that, but I am late for CK commercial shoot.

I'm all the guys in that Ketel One Vodka commercial. I play them all like Eddie Murphy in Big Mamma's House. My good looks know no bounds.

No transit directions... that's huge.

Does Apple really plan to get rid of transit directions? Shouldn't they at least integrate an app that does this like they did with Yelp.

"It's a beta" people cried. "Wait for the final version".

Then the final hit and this happened.

Oops!

I was just playing with a friend's ipad3 using ios6 maps and sure enough, many buildings in downtown LA have melted to some extent, while others look amazing in detail. It also takes a long, long, long time to load the map data if you are on 3G or slower. I compared the ipad 3's 3d maps to that on my Nex7 (which loaded extremely fast), and even with the melting, the ipad's 3d fly over views had better images when zoomed in, at least for LA. How useful flying view will be for people trying to use this as a gps navigation system will likely be nil to not at all. Google's Street View is much better, more accurate and actually useful.

It's a good start for Apple, and ios users, if you live in the US that is. Live anywhere else and this service is near useless. I do love cloud covered imagery in Europe. So helpful when you can't see anything, lol

Catching up to a competitor is nothing to celebrate about.

Do you guys laugh at the 1st place runner when you come in 2nd place?

Android Users laugh at iOS all the time so I'm guessing the answer is yes?

 

[ChazUK]

Brb flyover and superior vector based maps with traffic approximators.

Good night google...

IRL:

Brb mushy building flyover and inferior vector based maps with location approximators.

Good night google...

Time to fix the original post of this thread.

So Mac users laughing at the PC has historically been an inferiority thing?

One less thing for android trolls to come and try and justify their purchase with.

Oh those? Those are iClouds...

This entire fiasco has been very entertaining. Is this just a bug or is this something more serious? How long would it take to fix? How much is this going to cost Apple to fix?

Don't expect a fix anytime soon in the US, and if you live outside the US, don't ever expect a fix. Apple has had to basically cut and paste imagery from various sources. And it would take years and years and billions of dollars to get 3d and ground imagery from around the world.

Apple wanted Google off their phones and now the customer gets to pay the price with inferior products or have to pay for 3rd party apps. But as they say, 'it just works', except when it doesn't.

Wow, pretty embarrassing for Apple. So much for quality. Hope those waiting in line dont mind having a lousy Maps app. Looks pretty useless to me. Wonder what Steve would say?

Steve wouldn't be saying anything...





...he would go right to decapitations and put the heads on pikes around Cupertino.

It's just like Siri. It will always be a beta. And there are always 3rd party apps that ios users can pay for. Of course, this shows you exactly what Apple thinks about the rest of the world, when they don't put much effort into an integrated app like this, or Siri.

When this is on your homepage, it's like telling the world, 'Sorry, if you aren't in the US, we don't care.'

I have to say, this is really too bad. How can Apple release crap like that and leave out other countries? I love the competition between phone makers but the arrow for Apple is pointing down which isnt a good thing.

Wont stop the fanboys but even they have to be frustrated. i guess there is always the $50 Tom Tom app

 

[Sensamic]

Bobby?

Are you still there?

I think he's out of the country...

I almost forgot about this thread, but now it's more funny than ever, and Bobby has been ridiculed by it's own great Apple.

Jesus. $50?

Wait for Google. They will rise to the occasion if Apple will let them. The data is just too valuable to skip out of.

You still won't be able to set them as your default map app though, right? That would be very, very, very annoying.

Yeah, this has got to be embarrassing. One of the most ironically named threads I've ever seen.

He's been silent since the Sept 12 announcement. Must be embarrassing with this being his last post on the subject:

Two words: flyover.

Navi"gone" doesn't hav that. That's why it's getting deleted come ios 6.

Kinda funny. Guess he might be keeping those other apps now? ;-]

 

[flameproof]

So this is the 'thermonuclear' Steve Jobs talked about?

 

[Calidude]

It's really depressing that Bobby would go so far as to defend Apple's corporate bickering that resulted in a degraded customer experience for him and all of those loyal iOS users.
