Yep, the new maps in ios6 suck pretty much every where except in New York (and maybe a handful of other US cities). From what I have seen the coverage for San Antonio is exactly as ty as for Ljubljana.

I'm going to install the google maps app the second it becomes available.

it's pretty good for Austin, the vector rendering makes the tress and cars look pretty weird. it gives directions a to b as good as anything else, which works for me. Anandtech has a thorough ios6 review up:

I'm pretty sure that the maps will get better pretty fast in the US, but I also think it will take them a lot longer time for the international map to reach the detail level (and actuality) of Google. Also historically Apple always focused on its US customers first, the rest of the world later.

Also if you look at New York, it's pretty nice - I don't know when they can achieve that for the US and then the rest of the world.

Wow

I was talking only about the visuals. Of course if that's the case then it sucks. Isn't public transport info (for all the maps) supposed to be added later(!?)

Anyway I generally like the ios apple sandbox and I've managed to set up my devices quite nicely so that I don't carry my laptop with me anymore for trips that are shorter than a week.

But to fix something by making it worse, I must say that a novel approach.

I just pinned the mobile google maps site in case I need it, but I have not needed it yet. We'll see how the new Maps app works in Denver next month.

There's no doubt that Nokia had the first real working map application on its phones (back in the Symbian days), but they were too dumb to capitalize on it and tried to sell the map data instead of giving it for free and charging the search results to interested parties. Actually I remember Nokia charging for the maps and then charging extra for the navigation capability.

So yeah, they have great maps (specially now they're combined with Bing) but dropped the ball so badly that they really shouldn't make fun of others too much.
