This is making me seriously reconsider buying an iPhone 5 when it becomes available here in Poland next week. Maps are a vital part of my smartphone activities, and Google's offering have been really impressive.
If Apple can't get this right for a market as big and smartphone-friendly as Japan, I'm struggling to think how they'll do so for Poland.
Edit: just to clarify, I don't care in the slightest about the 3d-image errors, but the problems with directions look incredibly painful, missing roads will be a huge hindrance, and the disappearance of points of interests, well, that's just plain annoying.
