Nokia maps are best for many Asian countries like India..!

19. chaoticrazor posted on 11 Oct 2012, 11:48 1

23. kartik4u98 posted on 11 Oct 2012, 13:44

Right..
Google have Street view whereas Nokia have a proper and probably better offline navigation.

actually maps cant kill IOS FYI.. if ios maps is annoying,then ios users can alwys use google map or nokia map or bing map or the likes through websites or apps store, And btw, reduce ur ego dude and being a fanboy,, obsession can kill you i swear.. peace,

im not a fanboy. you dont have to be fanboy to say apple's move of using crappy apple maps and ditching google maps was extremely stupid for the time and not even putting beta over it. and if you can already access them through websites, what was the whole point of making an app for it dufus.

24. ChiX017 posted on 12 Oct 2012, 01:09

true..just like Nokia, Apple has it's loyal customers.

the only thing Google maps lack is database unlike Navteq maps.so hurry up Google & cover the whole world in ur maps.

I applaud you Google, thank you so much for being an actual Innovator in the tech world instead of just "claiming" to be while stifling other more promanant companies with simple litigation. Classy, very classy - D

9. chaoticrazor posted on 11 Oct 2012, 06:06 2

calm down they haven't re-invented the wheel, besides this isnt innovation its improvement

10. KickRocks posted on 11 Oct 2012, 07:28 1

Sorry apple.......GOOGLE is king here! Thats how you update maps for your customers

12. darktranquillity posted on 11 Oct 2012, 07:39 1

Eat it apple!

That's not a very nice statement to write. It really isn't Apple's fault that their mAps' Service is inferior. One can't denegrade an entire flock if you will because they simply insist on misfollowing tyranny. We must continue to support Apple in its' endeavors; for, only with an example of great iNcompetence and great misguiDance, can Google continue to deliver Great Example.
