Google maps puts apple maps to shame                                                                They did this by getting the google maps app in the App Store. The new app quickly got up to the top of the free aps list and defeated apple maps. Many just wanted something better than apple maps. Apple maps had bad navigation and terrible 3D graphics. Some were so bad that it made the world wide monuments look weird. Also there was broken roads and a satellite system that worked but you could only see the clouds. The good news is that google maps is amazing. The only flaw is about direction accuracy but everything else is spot on. Google maps has years of expierience and apple maps just came out. The worst part of apple maps is that the accuracy is terrible. It actually stranded a couple people in a dangerous area with no water. Overall I would go with google maps on this one.
