At least it draws, but nothing super about it. Still missing a ton of stuff.

Oh well… Apple took it a bit too far when they thought they could keep the project in house, become independent from Google and still do well! In fact not just well but beat the competition on a field where G maps has years of experience?!?? I think that’s an excess of corporate confidence. And the truth is that there are a bunch of emerging apps out there that do a great job and yet receive not enough attention! I think these two are some good examples http://www.mevvy.com/tools/inrix-traffic/ or http://www.mevvy.com/tools/waze/ in the end why fuel the giants when we all need business and specially startups???

Since they say this Google Maps is better than the Android one, maybe it will help to sell that many more iPhones. Apple will likely never catch up to Google Maps unless it buys a map company and devotes full resources and time to the project. Google seems to be serious about their map business and are doing a great job of it.
