About this Article

Apple has taken a lot of guff for the way that it updated the Maps application for its new mobile operating system, iOS 6. Much of that criticism is warranted. There’s no denying that the bones of a good app are there. Apple’s turn-by-turn navigation is a welcome addition, and the maps themselves look good. What’s not there, however, is the wisdom of the crowd that has made Google’s map application so successful.
