Maps and mapping

The news in May that Google was sidelined as the provider of maps for the iPhone (in any phone that runs iOS 6, to be released later on Wednesday 19 September) caused a fair amount of hand-wringing and worry. Would it be as good? Or would it just use some in-between rubbish?

Don't worry – it's very good. Here we need to distinguish between the maps themselves, and the maps app. The maps don't have all the highlighting of Google's, but the amount of detail such as road names seems to me greater. The 3D view (which you can yaw by sliding two fingers up or down on either end of the screen) is entertaining – more so if you turn on the satellite imagery – and you can also rotate the maps with two fingers, or bring them back to true north by tapping a compass.

That all brings feature parity with Android – as does the introduction of turn-by-turn voice navigation, so that your satnav can now play music and make or receive phone calls.

Then surely they will write a nice piece on every phone that they want free?

I'm sure apple will have an update for it within a day or two as they always do for bugs and niggles.

Ha hooked..and reeled in. reviews from iphone lovers. I have actually seen it in action and its a bit weird looking but a fab phone. Some reviews give it 5 stars and some just 4 stars due to the fact that the 4s with io6 is 'the same phone bar the stretch'. The maps are a BIG problem though and i`m surprised at that considering its Tom Tom at the helm. People saying Google maps are best etc etc but the Nokia satnav on my lumia is the dogs. And free.
Looking at my other link it seems the 'brick' is very hotly anticipated in opinion polls. :-)
Bit disappointed with the HTC 8X tbh so it looks like 920 or the Ativ S.
