Title: Apple maps vs googles maps
Post by: @MacPhlea on Friday, September 21, 2012, 22:07:39
To be fair Apple maps (satellite view) are more up to date than google maps (2011 vs 2006)... For my home anyways...

Aplle have bought a good source of data in TomTom, and have integrated the satnav. No doubt it will become a good product in time. But to release what they have is shambolic, very unusual for Apple. If I had Googlemaps and they withdrew it to release that on me I'd be nightly pissed off.

Well I would if I used maps much, which I don't.

Tehe, even the underground are taking the piss:

The only time I actually used maps is to find my way home from a girls house in the morning.

Google maps worked fine, haven't used Apple's maps for it yet. we shall see.

Possibly if there was any females in any of the clubs.


Forgot this place is 90% male during freshers week.

This is a modern world....for all of human history, blokes have had to rely on homing instinct for this.

The beer scooter is a magical thing...as is the beer jacket.  Beer goggles, less so (although they helped me over the years!).
