Say what you will, Apple maps got led me right to Harris Park on Sunday, even though I didn't need it.

That said I downloaded GM just in case.

As soon as I saw this I downloaded it and blocked AppleMaps from using my location data. Screw those bastards, while the phone is nice the maps app is absolutely terrible.

Thank you google, now my home is on the correct side of town again.

As soon as I read on a geek blog that apple developed their new map and did away w/ google.. I changed my mind about an Iphone 5 or updating my OS on a few products. I'm sorry, but I remember the growing pains when Nav systems were first coming of age.. One does not just 'create' a nav system and it work... Apple aimed for the stars and landed some where around uranus.

I have to admit I'm kind of an apple fanboy. But after they pulled that crap with the maps, see below. :D

We always tell people NOT to use Google Maps to get directions to the house. The ones who don't listen usually call about half an hour late looking for the house.

Now, if Apple would quit blocking Firefox I'd be happy.

You can submit a correction in Google Maps... not sure what the exact issue is with people getting to your house but if the location is off in the maps it's a pretty simple fix for them.

I use a lot of apple computers. I got tired of MS crashing, infecting, deleting, updating, puking...

BTW, JMB makes ballistics software for the iphone and ipad. I use it a lot.

Yes, I know what the issue is but don't really care.

I was a bit sad to see the Google Maps go away when I "upgraded" to iOS 6.0. Took a minute to adjust to the new map program but now I kind of like it. I haven't had any issues using it. As far as I can tell the people really complaining about it are having trouble with it in places like Australia and Tokyo. I don't leave my country so I don't anticipate any problems. That being said, I'll download the Google maps.... just in case.

I'm sure I don't need to remind you guys Google is such a fucked up libtard organization they actively removed firearms and firearms-related results from their Shopping search function.

Fuck Google and anything they support or profit from.
