Well I've done it - i've just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 6 and the first thing I have done is check out the infamous maps app. Now over the past few days there has been a subtle fight back from Apple PR through the Mac tech blogs about how the maps app is improving every day. Now I'm sure that is the case but they are still crap. I have just looked at my home location and found that I now live near to a town called Ketteringham. Having never heard of this place I thought I would investigate further and in turns out that the only Ketteringham listed in the UK is about 200 km to the east in Norfolk. Now that is what I call a new level of accuracy last seen in the middle ages. The cartographers of the Mappa Mundi will be pleased that there work was not in vain.
Now I'm sure that over time Apple will sort this monumental mess out it is just in the mean time their reputation or competence is shot through and it allows idiots like me to take cheap shots at them.
