Será??? Imagina-te no Alentejo, à procura daquelas terriolas pequenas, onde há pouca sinalização. O iOS Maps, manda-te para longe do lugar que queres, para um lugar errado. Ok? Estamos em Portugal, esse erro deve ser o que? 50 kms no máximo? Agora imagina-te no continente Australiano. O erro pode ser algumas centenas de Kms senão for milhares. Não se esqueçam que a realidade tuga é completamente diferente destes países continentais, onde uma viagem de carro de 300 kms, é coisa pouca para se fazer numa manhã, enquanto para o português, ir ao Algarve já é uma viagem grandita, e não é coisa para se fazer com frequência.....
 
t wasn’t actually Apple’s fault. It looked bad compared to Google Maps, because the Chocolate Factory has spent an awful lot of money, time and petrol on StreetView and other ways to improve the “ground truth” of its maps – but Apple hasn’t yet had the chance to correct the data it uses as inputs, to any great extent.
To be blunt, there is a place called Mildura whose location is given as exactly where Apple put it – at least, there is in an authoritative source for such a location.

A Samsung já aproveitou. Estiveram bem, mas deviam mostrar como exemplo de app de navegação de confiança o Google Navigation, porque Navigon também há para iPhone.

Têem de se convencer que tudo o que apresente o nome Apple, é extremamente apelativo para bater.
Segundo a máxima de Oscar Wilde, falem bem ou falem mal, o importante é que falem de mim! ;)

GOOGLE Maps have found their way back to the iPhone.

The world's most popular online mapping system has returned with the release of the Google Maps' iPhone app. The release comes nearly three months after Apple Inc. replaced Google Maps as the device's built-in navigation system and inserted its own maps into the latest version of its mobile operating system.
Apple's maps proved to be far inferior to Google's. The product's shoddiness prompted Apple CEO Tim Cook to issue a rare public apology and recommend that iPhone owners consider using Google maps through a mobile web browser or seek other alternatives until his company could fix the problems. Cook also replaced the executive in charge of Apple's mobile operating system after the company's maps became a subject of widespread ridicule.


Among other things, Apple's maps misplaced landmarks, overlooked towns and sometimes got people horribly lost. In a particularly egregious example flagged this week, Australian police derided Apple's maps as “life-threatening” because the system was steering people looking for the city of Mildura into a sweltering, remote desert far from the desired destination.
Google Inc., in contrast, is hailing its new iPhone app as a major improvement from the one evicted by Apple.
“We started from scratch,” said Daniel Graf, mobile director of Google Maps. Google engineers started working on the new app before Apple's September 19 removal, Graf said, though he declined to be more specific.

The additional tools in the free iPhone mapping app include turn-by-turn directions. Google's previous refusal to include that popular feature on the iPhone app while making it available for smartphones running on its own Android software is believed to be one of the reasons Apple decided to develop its own technology. The friction that has developed between Google and Apple as they jostle for leadership in the increasingly important smartphone market also played a role in the mapping switch.

Google's new iPhone mapping app also will offer its street-level photography of local neighborhoods for the first time on Apple's mobile operating system, as well as three-dimensional views, public transit directions and listings for more than 80 million businesses. The iPhone app still lacks some of the mapping features available on Android-powered phones, such as directions in malls and other buildings.
There still isn't a Google mapping app for Apple's top-selling tablet computer, the iPad, but the company plans to make one eventually. Google, which is based in Mountain View, California, declined to say when it hopes to release an iPad mapping app. For now, iPad owners can use the maps in an iPhone mode. That won't be the best experience, but it still may be better than Apple's maps on the iPad.

Google's free mapping solution is likely to become one of the hottest commodities in Apple's app store, if for no other reason because of pent-up demand among iPhone owners fed up with Apple's alternative. Some iPhone owners even refused to upgrade to Apple's newest software, iOS 6, because they didn't want to lose access to the old Google mapping application built into iOS 5 and earlier versions.
Apple didn't respond to a request for comment about Google's new apps late Wednesday, but it approved the technology before its release.
Graf said Google isn't hoping to make Apple look bad with its new mapping app. “On maps, we have a friendly relationship,” he said.

Google Maps becomes the App Store’s most popular free app, just 7 hours after launch

After months of posturing and reports of feuds between Google and Apple, Google Maps launched on the App Store. Within seven hours, the app is already the number one most downloaded app on Apple’s marketplace, seven hours after it became available earlier today.
The app has been very well received, receiving a 4.5/5 rating on the App Store from 1,026 ratings. It has ousted Apple’s own ’12 Days of Christmas’ app, as iPhone and iPod touch owners download Google’s new Maps title to complement or even replace Apple’s own.
