Going from BWI (Baltimore Airport) to Gaithersburg, MD Wrong Exit listed, correct route but wrong instructions 8/1/2013.
Going from Plymouth, MI to Blissville, MI took me off the highway in a circle then back on the highway..... That was on 8/16 Love the interface but the maps leave alot to be desired. You can map them for yourself and see. Exit 31 on the BWI and the Blissville takes you through Dundee,MI incorrectly
Did you drop a pin and use the 'Report A Problem' button to get it corrected?
That's another issue that people bring up. You report a problem...but it never actually gets fixed.
Guacho reported that the discrepancies he reported a long time ago haven't been fixed. The ones that I submitted several months ago are also still not fixed. Contrast this with Google, who fixes error reports much quicker (according to those who have done both). What good are submitting corrections if they are never acted upon?
Used Apple Maps about 6 times this past week and it worked flawless. On the return trips, Google worked just as well... User preference in some areas I guess...
I agree with both of these posts and use it all the time with no trouble what so ever. Also mainly people that bad mouth don't know how to use it, Don't give it a chance and are more than likely thinking about what the app was replaced and first came out. It has come a long way and Apple has worked very hard to get it right and have done a tremendous job.I have always been a big TomTom advocate. I recently started using Apple Maps, and have pushed TomTom back to page 3 of my apps. I haven't had any problems with Maps, and the rerouting is fast with no annoyance.
I recently went hiking with my GF. We used nav to get to the parking lot of the lake by the trail... and Apple Maps on her iPhone 5 took us in to a neighborhood about 1/2 mile away... I used Google Maps on my 4 to get us to the right place.
I was using Apple Maps on one occasion just a couple months ago and it had me exit the interstate, drive four miles down a road just to come back around and catch the interstate again at the next exit. Although, I suppose I was happy it was actually wanting me to be on a "road" that time.
So, Apple Maps will get you where you need to go, it just takes the "scenic route".
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.
Because it still sucks.
Agreed. I used Apple Maps yesterday to navigate to an address in my area and was led in the complete opposite direction. I then typed the address into Google Maps and it navigated me where I needed to go perfectly. Bottom line: Apple Maps still has a LONG way to go.
