    If only that question was asked within Apple before releasing it. They must of knew it wasn't ready to be released

    I think they should have released it as a Beta, like they did with SIRI (and SIRI is also still in beta), and then worked on it slowly while giving the consumer Google maps on the device. I have no doubt in a couple years it will matter if we use Google or Apple Maps. It just needs some significant fixes and changes. Once it is fixed I am sure it will be a consumer's favorite.

    Isn't it a beta? Nonetheless, I think they should have kept Google maps and added their own. There's room enough for the both of them.

    Yes. Apple's maps were released way too early.

    That's basically what Apple Maps is. A joke.
