    Anyone know a good Map APP for iPhone 4S?

    Hey guys, unsure if this belongs in the computer thread... if so please move <3....

    Anyone know a good Map App for iPhone 4S??? The iOS's new Map is fucking trash. I hate it with a passion. I can't skip steps, I can't see whats coming up. I can't find half of peoples houses. I mapped one of my friends houses who is only about 3 miles away since I always miss the turn ... it tried to take me somewhere across town. I'm done with it.

    I'd love a better map app for my phone...does one exist?

    Didnt CrapApple make a 180 regarding including google maps just yesterday or so?
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Google maps is once again available for iOS. That Apple needed to be bailed out by Google should tell you something when it comes to future phone purchases.

    I actually like the Apple Maps GUI better, and it's reasonably accurate in Houston. I'll use that most of the time, and if it gets something wrong, I'll just switch to Google briefly.

    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    What? It's fine to dislike Apple; making up your own reasons is a bit overboard though, ya?

    you don't actually believe what it is you're implying here, right?

    apple products may be overpriced for the technology that's in them, but being loyal to google for the opposite reason is just as foolish.

    pick products based on their merits, not based on the logo(s) printed on them.
