On: A Letter from Tim Cook on Maps

>Unless you required a feature that is gone now (transit, which I don't), then it's really not so bad

I think this is another example of the biggest general complaint about apple Maps, that it's too US-centric. Here in Europe a mapping program that can't do transit is a joke.

So like Google Maps in Germany, then, eh?

Google Maps never had any transit info in Germany. It never was a joke, it always was awesome (even if always fraught with problems and errors).

That's true in many places in the US as well. We have plenty of big cities with well-developed public transportation, after all.
