Lee, As far as maps, I know I must be missing something but for my needs Apple’s Maps have not failed…maybe no street view, but what I’ve needed is to get from point A to point B…if you remember, it was 60 minutes, 20/20 or one of the other news stations that featured Google maps in a long story about this young girl that followed Google Maps to end up lost in the desert, out of gas.
For days air rescue and ground teams searched for her….FINALLY, she was found…Google refused to comment… I did a test a few years ago using a Garmin Satellite GPS, Apple Maps and Google Maps. I was in Charlestown Indiana doing inspections on residences… I wrote a long report, at that time the Garmin did well, Apple did well but Google had me out with a bunch of cows…I was determined to follow the directions no matter where each of the systems led me, Google had me turning on roads that didn’t exist, it ran me in circles and never did get me where I needed while the other two did. Google Earth is another animal, that is a great piece of software, but their Maps I can live without.
