I have always wondered how Steve Job's desire to go thermonuclear on Google and destroy Android would continue since his passing. Apple's maps is interesting because it was another step in Apple distancing themselves from Google and any dependence on their technology. It makes me curious if this was Cook carrying on Job's wishes and if Jobs would have released such a buggy product if he were still at the helm. Was the desire to stick it to Google greater than releasing a product that probably should have only been a beta version released to developers? The apology by Cook today is significant. Apple doesn't apologize for much.

I used to rent cars all the time when traveling but finally realized that using taxis is often cheaper for most of my trips. And a lot more convenient."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I use google maps on my phone all the time.
-When I travel
-When I am looking for an address in my area with which I am unfamiliar
-To update traffic conditions when travelling around the bay area
-To find alternative routes
The reason I have yet to upgrade to iOS 6 is becasue I do not want to lose a resident google maps app until they have Apple maps figured out. I hope this is sooner rather than later.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

I'm surprised by the people not having problems with Apple Maps, as it was bad enough that Apple apologized and told user that they should use something else while they fix it.
