Yes, they used to be wrong but just the other day I used my iPad to get to a destination and I left my phone(Nexus 4) on charge and it had no issues taking me there. NOTE: I do NOT live in the US, I live in a country called New Zealand.
i'm often wondering the same. i live in your neighborhood (Melbourne) and to me Apple Maps are doing an outstanding job. reliable, great as navigation device in the car and of course beautiful to look at (especially the 3D in Melbourne region). I have heard a lot of more positive reviews lately though, I think those who still slag it off are the hard core.

Those experiences are not unique to Apple Maps... It happens on Gamin Nuvis... TomToms... and has happened to me with Google Maps & Navigon too... people hate on Apple Maps because they can... and some of them, because they want to to hate on Apple.Apple Maps has taken me to the incorrect place more than I care to admit. Told me to turn on roads that did not exist anymore, told me turns that were coming up within 500 feet that were more than a mile away, etc.

I am sure it has improved but between Google Maps and my Navigon app, I am doing just fine.
