Bollocks. Google Maps has just been in a continuous downward spiral on both desktop and iOS.

The naysayers at the Apple Maps launch were extremely short sighted. It was always going to improve significantly over time. Mapping and especially navigation is a data problem and Apple didn't have the data to roll out an A* star service worldwide at launch.

I think the biggest problem was it was rushed a little toward the end, most of it seemed there and then parts of it felt like they got done in the last 48 hours. But that's pure speculation.
