Thank you, Spock.

I think that Apple Maps is far from a failure.

Sigh. This is going no where. I really don't care what your opinion is on this topic lol.

I'd be confused, then I'd whip up a filter to clean them out and move on. It takes a lot more to ruin my day. I'm sorry that yours are so fragile.

I've used Apple maps in three major cities, the suburbs surrounding them, one rural state, and across hundreds of miles of road in between. Never had a single issue. In fact, in one instance, Apple maps was the only one out of mapquest and google to properly identify the location of a doctor's office I was looking…

I don't think you understand the important role that users play in developing a mapping platform.

I don't really see how this would cost the school or IT department any large sum of money. Certainly not any more than is wasted on a normal day in those organizations.

I don't know enough about the message, but I'm fairly confident that you could target just this thread, or at the very least, these types of messages. One or both of the "from" addresses should be unique to that list.

And I said that such comparisons weren't fair. The value of a mapping service is largely a product of how long it has been in existence. I'm not debating that the comparisons exist, just that they're not fair.

They're acting like this was a huge deal. If incoming email is that distracting to you, regardless of volume, then you need to take another look at your workflow.

And that may be what a short-term thinking company would do, but that leaves open the possibility that they wind up in the same situation a few years down the line with the new manufacturer. It also means letting what has grown to become a big part of their main product (radios weren't always important, now they are,…

I disagree. I have not read reports that suggested that, and it completely defies logic. In any event, we did not have turn-by-turn, and now we do.

Among many things, the single largest missing feature was turn-by-turn navigation, which Android enjoyed for some time. We now have it on iOS. Frankly, that's enough for me. That was a major missing feature.

That's not a fair comparison.

1) Google Maps can still be accessed via the web interface, and even that is only required until Google releases a native app.

Mapping is an extremely difficult and complex problem. It's a problem that requires lots of time and user input to get right. There's just no substitute for that. It's impossible for any service to correct all of the inconsistencies that arise after combining data from many sources to create a single mapping…

But that has remained stagnant for well over a year (I forget exactly how long, possibly much longer). Google clearly had no intention of developing it further, or allowing the iOS app to use its new features moving forward. This was Apple's only move, and if everyone would just relax for a bit, I think you'll all…

I'm confused. It appeared as though several Gizmodo articles made light of Hamas's attack on Israel. So, then, what rockets did the Iron Dome defend against?

Same experience here. Every mapping service has hiccups. It's not fair to compare Apple Maps to its competitor that has had a 7 year head start.

I never said there weren't.
