Why is the new Apple Maps software like Islam?

Both put you on the right path, but follow either one too literally and you'll end up smashing into a building

Sorry for the joke hijack, but that peninsula in your post reminded me of something I wanted to ask you, Steve. Have you ever been to Mont St. Michel?

Yes, I have Rod! It's very, very pretty from afar and on approach, quite touristy inside, and you are required to pay at the chapel at the top (so I didn't go in)... why do you ask? What's the punchline? winking smiley

No joke. I've just seen it in several films, the latest being Eric Rohmer's film Pauline at the Beach last night. As you know, it's just across the channel so I figured you'd probably been there. It certainly looks marvelous in photos and film!

It's a popular school trip destination here in the UK, but it took me 29 years to get there. There's an English equivalent in Cornwall called, er, St Michael's Mount, which is not quite as grand but still special. I haven't been there yet...

Whats with people and their endless desire to whine about anything they can find?

Proven to be of low IQ by the fact that they most likely lined up overnight to buy the damn iphone 5, I have to point out the irony of these low brows complaining about what amounts to a technical marvel.They perhaps think they could have done a beter job?

The same crowd would have complained about the variety of bread at Jesus' miracle in the desert or the dryness of the wedding wine provided by the same dude.

If you really needd to find some lemmings that should be marched off a cliff, look no further than the 6-8 million people who are dumping their perfectly good phones so that they can claim to own the latest greatest iphone 5.

But the Apple Maps software is so damn appalling that it's hilarious. My friend tells me our local Apple Store is apparently in the middle of a park grinning smiley Laugh along, chap

On a serious note, I find the rampant consumerism these days deeply disturbing. The world of marketing has a lot to answer for.

The video clip pretty much sums up what I think of humanity 5.1.

Personally i believe Apple should have concentrated on the "map" and less on the 3D views of the city buildings, and got he mapping right, then introduced the WOW.
Sure the 3D is fun but would have absorbed a lot of time and resources.

Me, i have a hand-me-down 3G. I even get phone calls on it.
