    Rotten apple?

    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.

    Not very good if it is used for an emergency

    Apple's new maps leave users lost

    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.

    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?
