Ok, I'll say it...Google Maps was better.

 

The Yelp integration was nice, but I miss the transit map integration badly.

Be careful. Y2HH will claim that your opinion is wrong and there is nothing wrong with iOS maps. It's all user error somehow. :D

I;m not sure thats really his position. Google maps are going to be superior for awhile since they've been doing it longer. I dont use the transit maps so I dont notice. However some of the other features in iOS6 are fairly welcome so far. This may be a small feature but I like the option of making the vibrate function different for different notifications.

Why would I say that when in my previous review I said Google Maps is still superior in many regards...Apple Maps is pretty much TomTom, and I wouldn't say TomTom is on the level of Google Maps, nor is Garmin. They're ok under most circumstances, though.

I've had that ability for two years now.

...and?

 

Windows Mobile has that ability 10 years ago. By your rational, that would make Android s***tier than Windows Mobile 4.x...when it's not.

I like the turn by turn feature. That is why I hated google maps and the fact that I will now have that, which I can play through my cars radio, is huge.

A feature that has been included in other operating systems for years now.

These are such marginal things. The intimation that there are phones that are far advanced than other phones right now is ridiculous. The speed additions will be slight, the weight will be slight, the screen definition will be slight for human eyes. The apps and functionality are nearly universal across both platforms. Most people are going to go with what they are comfortable with and have found to be reliable, since these are not people's first founds anymore.

 

But here apparently product is some sort of extension of person, and judging by this thread it's an extension between the legs. And I find it annoying. If people who just purchased a new product can come in here and just post some of the new things they like/don't like about the product that would be a welcome change to the measuring contest it has been for especially the past few weeks.
