The Amazing iOS 6 Maps
Here's a cool Tumblr blog about Apple's new mapping service with plenty of pics.
Gothenburg has vanished from the planet, Berlin is now in Antarctica, and some alien force has flattened a huge section of London. The Amazing iOS 6 Maps |

Yes, it has been on the news here in Norway as well. What I ment was that it looks like, for once, the search results in apple maps is more updated than the results from google maps. After all, the "restored" version in apples search is newer than the results from google.
What I ment with photoshopping was that the images could be inserted in the screenshot with photoshop. It sounds a bit strange that a map service should display paintings, but why not? Other tourist attractions are displayed in the map service. I still run iOS 3.2 i tink, so I cannot verify that the search results are actually genuine. |

Apparently Mr. Magoo is the designer for the new iOS 6 maps!
What happened Apple? usually when you steal an idea from another company you make it at least look better! |

You can still use Google Maps from the web browser if you prefer it. Just add it as a "web app" to your homepage.
