| iPhone 5 Maps |
Apple’s newest map app in iOS 6, which the company replaced from the default Google Maps, has been getting a lot of flak lately.
Fox News calls the TomTom-developed Maps application an “unsightly
blemish on what is otherwise a beautiful OS,” adding that although it
performs gorgeously, the software “takes multiple giant leaps backwards
compared to Google Maps.”
For one, it has an inefficient search function. Try searching for a
Chinese restaurant located a few hundred feet away and it would yield a
result thousands of miles away. Searching for a way to get to a certain
location, which works very well with Google Maps, can be frustrating in
Apple’s Maps app especially if you are rushing to a meeting. Looking
for a place that is within a mile where you are serves results located
in a different city.
The new Maps app also does not work well in pinpointing exact addresses, leading you to a different street or a different town.
Apple has yet to comment on the matter.
