Every time I drive somewhere with someone who has an Iphone, we play a game with Apple maps. For the game not to be a disaster, you have to know where you’re going. Put Maps on and wait for the misdirection. It’s kind of funny. Wrong turns in Bucks County PA, dead ends off route 70 in New Jersey when your destination is a large hotel on route 70 etc. Thanks for the entertainment. Love Waze.
Misdirection? In that it differs from your Waze? How many times did you play this so called game? Frankly, I'd guess once.
I have had one misdirection from Maps since it debuted in iOS 6 at the June 2012 WWDC. . . and that was because there were two identical addresses in two different towns on the same street. . . same road. . . in the same county in the South Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. This was the very first week that Maps was out. Adding the exact town solved the problem.
Just last month a search in Sacramento put a business I was seeking by name in a residential area. . . but when I tried it in Google Maps, the business was shown to be in the exact same location. When I drove to the area, the business was located in a shopping center that extended far back. . . and the residential area streets had an access.
The previous month, my girlfriend and I were going to a party up in the Sierra Nevada foothills north of San Andreas. Google Maps sent us on a route that took us off the main roads onto a dirt road where the POTHOLES could have swallowed a Volkswagen—and the low angle of the setting sun that day made them impossible to see. The one we dropped into was over four feet across and two deep and cost me over $1000 damage to my car ($500 insurance deductible). . . and injured me and my girlfriend. We had to call a tow truck to pull us out of the one we wound up in. We were lucky the car was still drivable—if not still aligned—and hours late for the party.
A month later, Apple Maps provided a far better routing to the same destination using main roads. . . and it was only about four tenths of a miles longer than the route Google came up with but with fewer turns. . . and all the roads were PAVED with not one pothole!
