Anonymous, 28 Sep 2012What Country are you Dnezo?Im in Australia, Sydney. It works great around the Universities in Sydney.

Man I have to say the 3D thing is crazy.. Im surprised it hasnt got more respect. Oh well, you can tell its going to be great. To me it already is, cause its working.

Lastly, my initial review, ill put this up in the iPhone 5 section, but yeah phone is terrific.

    This is what Apple calls quality user experience by throwing out the best mapping service in the world?!?! (ousting the native youtube app did not help either).. iPhone's are all but worthless souvenirs now-a-days and just like the last time Jobs was gone, Apple's only going downhill from here.

          Didnt you know, iOS6 users were supposed to be beta testers for the new apple maps, cause they dont have the manpower for beta testers. All their manpower is focused on reviewing and filing patents :))

            It takes a lot for a man to apologise, and it would take no less than a man to accept it!

            Apology accepted!

            Now can we please get back at each others throat

              Apple has to go its own way to get away from Samsung and doing a map of the whole world at street level will have some teething problems..

              I am Apple fan, admittidely for only 12 months but next time they really have to pull something out the bag.They could not do it this time because of the swapping to Apples own components & apps which is a huge undertaking..

                People, you just judge a phone, for the Maps service. That is not the app I use the most.

                  oh dear didn't we tell you Tim? Scratches or dents now the maps. Anything else you're still not telling us or do we have to find out and then publise it? Problems for the Iphone 5 and IOS 6. So he says in the meantime use your rival's map. Sad excuse Tim to your Apple fans and he should have waited until the phone was perfected.

                              A mark of a great company. Now I am sure I was right in updating to ios6. With our help, iMaps can beat GMaps.
