Apple Maps #2

applemaps2Apple Maps errors – example 2.

The map shows Allowah St joining onto Evelyn St. Well it used to, several decades ago! That section of street has been closed off ever since I’ve lived in Newcastle.

And the map shows that you can drive north from the loop on top of Braye Park. That was closed off at least 10 years ago.

iPhone update

applemapsI’ve just updated from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 5. So far I’m really liking it, especially how light it is compared with the 3GS.

But I feel compelled to weigh in on the Apple Maps debacle. How bad is it? Really bad. Without even trying I quickly found 4 examples from my local area. I shudder to think how many errors would be found if looked hard!
