Apple Maps

For those of you who have not tried the Apple maps app yet, don't worry you haven't missed out on much yet. As Apple tried to move away from Google Maps they started to be more and more criticized for the change in part because their own version of Google Maps was horrible. Apple Maps in fact does have a nice, smooth and clean interface. However the app itself has too many bugs and the images embedded for the maps are distorted and an overall embarrassment to the company. In some instances Apple Maps will tell you that there are no results for the location you are looking for when Google Maps will display 1 or more results. By looking at the left image above you an see how bad it is. A bridge warping under looks like it is something out of the movie "War of the Worlds". Not only are the images terrible but the directions to certain places were wrong to. Although it is great to see APple taking the next step by making their own version of Google Maps, it will take much more time for them to make their product better and then be able to compete to a refined Google Maps application that is widely used on both android and IOS devices and it has also become the preferred choice of Maps application to use. Overall the interface for Apple Maps is nice but with the functional problems it has and the broken images it uses, it will take a will before they are able to convince users that interact with Google Maps to switch over.
