Just had a client come to see us. She was late because her new iPhone tried to take her to the south coast. We're in the midlands.

So I've seen a lot of criticism about Apple, surely TomTom must take much of the blame too? In my experience, and many others, their maps are rubbish, especially in the US.

Anyway, I have used the Navigation a few times now, and it really is very good, but totally let down by the lack of locations and POI's The maps are very clear, as are directions, but having to google a postcode for somewhere that is a pretty big village takes the slickness right out!

I think it's more the way they dumped a perfectly good thing with Google maps, and decided everyone deserved their own tat. I was in Helsinki, I wanted to find Helsinki West Harbour, not a chance. I've not found any of the hotels I've stayed in recently.

They cared more about ditching google than providing their customers with quality maps.

I think actually they cared more about getting it launched when the new OS was launched, rather than when it was ready.

That hardly makes her a moron. The satnav on her old phone worked fine so her only fault was assuming the new one would be at least as competent.

RobDickinson said: They cared more about ditching google than providing their customers with quality maps. It's not like they should care, they sold over 5mil iphone 5 in the first weekend so it's hardly affecting sales. They can solder the battery in, not allow external storage or usb mass storage, not put in NFC, restrict bluetooth functionality, close down the entire app ecosystem and be years behind on the competition with various technology (eg 4G/LTE), they still sell millions, so why should they care about their customers? furtive said: Maybe Google ditched them. Or told them if they wanted to continue using their maps they had to agree to stop suing manufacturers using their phone OS Whatever the reasons, reactions indicate that google wanted to continue to operate. Furthermore, they had a 5 year contract for the API, so they should have been able to anticipate this rather than release a half-arsed application with missing functionality like streetview.

I think unless Apple pull something out at the next run (a year away at most) alot of the blind faithful will start to be influenced by the glossy mags which report that Apple arent as great as it once was. Apple could be in trouble... of course in the near future they arent going to bomb like nokia or BB but alot of commentators seem to be far more vocal about Apples overal product problems than say a year ago.... Also i dont believe for one moment Google would of wanted to be pulled from Apple, think of all that data they collect and licencing revenue they must of had from Apple.
