Apple snaffles travel app in quest for way out of Maps debacle
Apple has bought another mapping startup, this time a small firm called Embark that develops public transit maps for download to Apple and Android devices. Last month, Cupertino splashed out on Canadian startup Locationary and online transit-navigation service HopStop.com to augment its mapping app, and now its Embark's turn. …

It's probably a UK thing but Apple's Maps has been OK here and a friend got out of serious trouble using Apple Maps. I have found the turn-on-turn an absolute boon. I'd use Google maps but I don't know how but I recently used Apple Maps and it got me back to the hospital I had come from... my own fault as I'd not set it correctly (holding it wrong, perhaps).

NOTHING WRONG WITH MAPS APP
There never was anything wrong with the Apple Maps App.
I think the fuss was started by Google.
Sure there were a few bent bridges and so on, but I never used that view, so it didn't bother me. I live in Okinawa where there are no addresses and very complicated streets, so I desperately need something to guide me. I hook up my iPhone through the car stereo and use Siri and Maps to get around. It hasn't failed yet.
It's MUCH easier to use than the Google app. It also ties in with your address book, so you don't need to futz around reentering stuff like you have to with the Google app.

Luton in Devon? Yes, it is:

(thought this may be the most convincing evidence for the average Reg. reader).
I think you will find that, in many countries, especially ancient ones like England, place names recur in different areas. You need to open your mind and be a bit more precise about which Luton you want.

I use both apple maps and google maps. I find the new google maps has gone backwards on usability with the new version (the same as the web version - you can still go back to the old version, hope that stays).
In general I prefer apple maps, I find the traffic better and the mapping clearer. This changes in London where I find its lack of clarity of tube station makes it not so useful. Luckily I only go there occasionally.
Neither of them are perfect, they both have locations and roads wrong but all the time they are both there and fighting each other, the better they both get and that has to be good.
