Did you hear? Google Maps is back in the App Store, which means we can finally officially pretend that whole Apple Maps disaster never happened. Still, there are a few things I’m going to miss about Apple Maps.
1. That time it revealed a secret military base in Taiwan.
2. How it forced Apple to suggest people use Bing with a straight face.
3. It was the straw that finally broke Scott Forstall’s back. So long, leather-bound apps!
4. To be honest, I actually prefer the Eiffel Tower this way…
5. …and Las Vegas.
6. Apple Maps made for some pretty great parodies like this and this and even this.
7. Motorola somehow managed to make itself look bad when it tried to make fun of Apple.
8. It proved that literally anything can have fanboys.
9. It taught me to never ever ever take Google Maps for granted again.
Slow day?
The next two weeks will see some quality bottom of the barrel scraping, this is purely a taster.
No one says that he has to use Google Maps, he does have a choice.
What a pointles article… why couldn’t this have been left on the US site?
I must stress-all my female friends DO prefer Apple Maps. I think because they are over simplified. I drive a lot in London City and West End and Gt London and I need to find some places fast, so with the help of Apple Maps I was F****d first days after update. Proper F****d. Absolutely Lost looking at the same places but on different platform. It sucked A lot.
And the 10th thing I miss about Apple Maps? My destination, by about 15 miles.
