One Bus Awayīesides the bugs, a big Apple Maps issue is the lack of public transit information. One Bus Away app running on iPhone 5, layering bus stops and routes over iOS 6 maps. Instead of the spaghetti of green, yellow and red that you'd see on a Google map, you see chokepoints highlighted in red lines, and some scary-looking alerts here and there. I haven't decided yet if it's sensible minimalism or just missing information (and part of me misses seeing green and thinking "Go go go!"), but you may actually prefer it.īridges can look crazy, rural roads can go missing - more egregiously, while one train station disappeared in London, an airport suddenly sprung up in Ireland. Traffic reporting differences between iOS 5 (left) and iOS 6. That was getting annoying in iOS 5, and I'm glad it's gone in iOS 6. Yes, big up to Apple for not shoving ads in your face when you're searching for a barber shop. Where the "fly-over" 3-D photo imagery feature is enabled, it looks great, and delivers higher-resolution satellite imagery than you could get on the old Maps app.Īs far as I can tell, those sponsored landmarks - the ones that netted Google some extra cash but never served you any purpose - are gone. As someone who can't stand Yelp reviewers but nevertheless uses Yelp data religiously, I look forward to saving time and effort by using this. There's also Yelp integration: Pop-up star ratings appear on restaurants and landmarks that you search for, and when you click through, you immediately pull up the Yelp page.
