Rotten apple?

[Chucaro]

Apple is facing growing criticism from users around the world who are complaining that the tech giant's new mapping system is riddled with errors.

An entire city is in the ocean, a farm has been labelled as an airport, highways end in the middle of nowhere and a hospital now covers the entire centre of British city Stratford-upon-Avon. :eek:

Not very good if it is used for an emergency :angel:

Apple's new maps leave users lost (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-09-21/apple27s-home-grown-maps-leaves-users-lost/4273362)

You mean if you're in a helicopter they tell you you're in a helicopter?

Must confess I don't like it

Can't just go straight to street view like the old maps. I used to like doing that. Have not played with it long enough but can't seem to find a way to do it yet.

I have Tom Tom on my iPhone so don't need it to tell me where to go.

The map for my area is over 3 yrs out of date, the hospital is no longer where it shows, moved yrs ago, and heaps of other out of date stuff, shame apple you where doing so well

The same can be done with a boat GPS, change the DATUM and it will throw all co ordinates out by my degrees.

Mind you saying that, google is not that up to date.

If I look at my old house in the uk on google earth my 90 is parked out side. And that truck has been here in Aus for the last 7 years.

Why is it I persistently find myself pointing out (and increasingly so to those who should know better) that Land Rovers are not trucks?

Mine has a plate that says "truck 3/4 ton gs":D

Truck, parting out, windshield, buddy, hood, pal, dude, tire, etc., are Americanisms that have worked their way into our language.

Anyway, every company has its peak and I wonder if Apple are starting to overdo it. At least Microsoft was always a bit like a used car dealer - you never really expected them to get any better!

... Ah, you're an American who used to live in the UK....

- It's the equivalent of an Aussie visiting Britain, and referring to LR's as 'lorries'.

:p :p :p :p

My 101 is a truck - says so on the rego papers. People can call their vehicle what they want.

Used to be a peeve of mine as well, but after telling people that I drove a Land Rover Defender, and getting confused looks from anyone who didn't know what that was (which, outside of Australia, Ireland and the UK is a LOT of people), I've since resigned myself to describing my Defender as a "truck" to anyone who asks.

Not sure what other word to use, TBH. It's not a Jeep, it's not an SUV, saying it's a 4WD means it could be anything from a saloon car to a tank. It's a Land Rover, simple as that :)
