Tweets run 2 to 1 for Google over Apple in iOS 6 map mess

24.09.2012

The breakdown of other issues with Apple Maps included problems with the app's traffic reports (27%), trouble with an address (14%) and its lack of something similar to Google's Street View (2%).

"[Others] can't find me!" said one tweet culled by Socialbakers. "Even though I gave them full and correct address ... I smell Apple Maps!"

"DO NOT upgrade your iPhone or iPad to iOS 6 if you care about real time traffic info - nowhere to be found in the new Apple Maps app," complained another.

As one tweeter noted, iOS 6 users can still access Google Maps through Safari by browsing to maps.google.com. To add the service to an iOS 6 device's home screen, users can tap Safari's 'Sharing' button the middle of the five icons at the bottom touch the "Add to Home Screen" button, name the icon ("Google Maps" is the default), and tap the "Add" button at the upper right.

Public transit and traffic reports can be added to iOS 6 through third-party apps such as (free) and (free).
