Fun fact, you can still use Google maps with iOS 6. Heck, I even have access to Nokia maps if I want to use it.

Jesus people.

They just make it a pain to use. Want to click a link in an email and be navigated to that spot.... NOPE!

While you're right about Apple generally sticking to a strict schedule, the mini is a new product/market to them so there's not a historical refresh schedule to base it on at this point. I will be surprised if we don't see one before Christmas.


Am I the only person who likes the new maps better? I used them for the first time on Saturday to help me get to the tint shop. Turn by turn was flawless and google maps never even attempted to do that. I was able to just set my route and set the phone down, directions were given over my stereo as I was playing music via USB.

Knowing how susceptible iPhones are to heat after being left in a car, that would be a concern of mine with a setup like this. Better get yourself a sunshade at the least.

Actually, as usual, Apple have just copied what has already been done. Google have had turn by turn navigation via Google maps on the Android platform for over two years now.

Dont get me wrong, I am not hating on Apple, I use both platforms (4s and SII)
and IOS is definitely late to the party with this one.

Hopefully this thread can stay reasonable and not turn into all out war between the fanboys!

I agree with you 100%. I am only saying that in my experience the new Apple maps work better than the crippled Google maps I'm used to using on ios. \

That said, the mapping/nav I had on my Droid I years ago are still better than what I'm using now.

Apple has some serious catching up to do, but I have faith that they will get there in due time .

I like the new Apple Maps. I can easily find screwed up areas on Google maps too. The media is blowing this whole thing out of proportion.
