I was looking for transit. I then bought the most expensive and the one with the best reviews. What I didn't like is that I could not try the app first, since there were several to choose from, but worse, that after purchasing the app and wanting to look up the information, it took me away from Maps into the new transit application. I saw some relevant data. But then I had to manually go back to maps. It didn't seem like a user friendly, integrated process. It's a bit jolting. I much prefer the information to be embedded in the maps with some sort of overlay or popover. I can see why Apple chose the route they've taken with 3rd party transit apps, and maybe over time, there will be a more seamless integration. -K Sent from my iPad with Retina Display http://www.kevincallahan.org > > On Sep 20, 2012, at 3:26 PM, Kevin Callahan <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I know there is a hue and cry over Apple's new maps in iOS.
