Hmm, yes, I am. The more you know. Logos even look similar.

Kenwood makes Kitchen gadgets?

Negative. See this photo from Mac Rumors:

Heh, this (in general) is the reason why I stopped telling anyone to update for things like this. Because as soon as you tell them to do it, any small issues they encounter are suddenly YOUR fault entirely, and how could you possibly do something like this when you knew that blah blah blah insert angry rageface here.

While I certainly agree that their mapping app has issues, I wouldn't avoid the upgrade because of it. For one, you can get google maps on the web. Also, there is roughly a metric fuckton of mapping apps available on the app store.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

It's true that third-party nav is not integrated quite as seamlessly as first-party, but it's pretty damn close. If Apple added a nav API to siri that could launch a third-party app then we'd be all the way there. That's all they have to do. OF course they won't now, because they released their own...

Presentation is excellent but routing is not perfect. It seems to have trouble selecting efficient routes to places. Then again I've only tried it in the car on a couple of destinations so far.

Didn't you see his post? Thirsty Thursday.

I never got that either. I mean, if you're driving someplace you already get a street view out of the windshield.

The one thing that's really a bummer for me at least is the transit directions. That is a dynamite feature of Google Maps. They need to fill that gap ASAP.

First, it's a marketing term.

I like the integration of maps (finally!) but they need to work on routing.

Overall it's integrated nicely, but they have a lot of work to do to make the app actually useful. My first experience with turn-by-turn directions was not encouraging; it told me I had reached my destination (an office building) while I was waiting at the off-ramp from the interstate.

Interestingly, I only see flyover mode on the android version of Google Earth. On the desktop version, they use the sketchup models and it tends to look better. But comparing apples... actually, let's say comparing oranges to oranges, the two flyover modes are essentially equal.

The Lumia series makes me want to buy into Nokia stock. They are a bargain basement prices and if they manage to recover any of their former glory it would be a goldmine to buy in now.

Edit: nevermind

Yeah, problem is there are fundamentalist whack jobs all over the world.
