I have to wonder if people that even make a big deal about Apple Maps even use Google Maps in the first place or have even used AppleMaps.
1) Apple Maps isn't actually that bad, it just doesn't give turn-by-turn walking directions and a few places are misnamed/slightly off.
2) There's an easy fix for something being slightly off or misnamed-- Google the place first. Even when I used the Google Maps app first I often had to do this anyways. It's not a big deal, search for the name of the place and then click the address in the results.
3) The 3D is little more than a gimmick. It's neat for sure, but it really doesn't matter that some things are skewed. Just as an FYI, a lot of the skewed 3D images are places you would never walk anyways (like highway mixmasters). Also note-- I did not say all.
4) Even before the whole Apple Maps thing, GoogleMaps wasn't the best GPS on the iPhone by far. If you're looking for turn-by-turn on the iPhone, Google Maps never did that.
The people making a big deal of Apple Maps read too much Gizmodo bitching.
