You're bound to get a good laugh or two with the atrocious maps that came with Apple's own mapping.
Gotta love melting/pancake structures and bridges.

In response to the melting stuff:
It's not only Apple with those problems
Besides, they're bound to fix at least some of the problems anyway. |
I particularly like the fine division of seasons in this picture.
1 – GalliumGrantWhat amazes me is that how some of the map data is out of date by several decades!
1 – TurtwigXI wonder how data can be really old, though. Did they use incredibly old maps to read the names of places without making sure they are up to date?

We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better. We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up. There are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps, with more and more joining us every day. In just over a week, iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you. While we’re improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app. Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard. Tim Cook Apple’s CEO |
According to Tom's Hardware, Apple is hiring Ex-Google Map workers to fix the iOS6 maps.
