Look at any mapping provider: Google, Bing, Ovi/Nokia, TeleAtlas, OSM... They are ALL way better than Apple. Apple allegedly is using OSM data, yet their maps are ridiculously bad compared to OSM. Town names are missing, there are next to no terrain features at all. Even the coloring is bad (low contrast etc.)
And then there is sattelite imagery, which is sort of fine in the US. But the rest of the world is low resolution, is partly covered in clouds, badly color corrected and partly black and white.
And then there are no public transportation directives and no sensible terrain view.
Apple released a crap product. Aerials won't get better 'the more peopl euse it'. Neither will maps grow more detailed. It's not like people can collaborate to make them better.
To me, those maps seriously diminished the worth of my devices. And this response makes me want to buy an Android phone. It is frankly insulting.
