One of the best things to come out of Apple’s iPhone 5 and iOS 6 launch has arguably been their new map system. And by best, if you are an Android user, you finally get the one-over on all your Mac-touting hipster friends. The complaint by users world-wide has centered on the sheer inaccuracy of the Maps locations and route choices, and the strange 3-D rendered surface streets that sometimes shows bridges dropping off canyons or melted down city streets. The outcry was enough to get Apple’s new front-man, Tim Cook, to issue an apology.
Leave it to the Internet to create a shrine so fans and dissenters alike can post their favorite location mistakes. Tumblr users have taken upon themselves and created a site dedicated to The Amazing iOS 6 Maps.
It includes such gems like Baltimore’s new underwater Aquarium.
Or if you fancy a trip to Sweden this winter, take note of Stockholm’s recent move under the new Apple Navigation Law.
I’ve always enjoyed racing trains on my way home. Real enthusiasts take it to the next level and drive on the tracks!
Or next time you are at an Atlanta Brave’s game, visit the new Rathburn Steakhouse right behind 2nd base.
My favorite feature of the new Apple Maps is their post-apocalyptic filter, which makes me feel New York City has been turned into Cthulhu’s playground.
While Apple continues to redesign the wheel, Google is mapping out the ocean floor.
