Apple Maps Are Dangerous

There have been many controversies following the release of Apple's Maps, piles of complaints have been made by the public and improvements are yet to be seen. Recently a couple of drivers were supposedly 'guided' to Mildura, in Australia, but ended up 70km away from the actual location; and were left without any food or water for 24 hours. Police have described the piece of software as 'life-threatening' due to the fact that the maps are so inaccurate.
Tim Cook, the chief executive, admitted that they have "screwed up" and promised that the maps app will be seeing an update in the near future. A senior sergeant, Sharon Darcy, who works for Victoria Police stated "Tests on the mapping system by police confirm the mapping system lists Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, approximately 45 miles away from the actual location of Mildura." The temperatures in the park can reach 46 degrees in the height of summer, therefore police are extremely concerned about the public's welfare because there is no water supply close by. Travelers have been advised to use a different mapping software for the time being, otherwise there could be some serious incidents involving Apple Maps.

Many people want Apple to Bring Google Maps back to iOS so they can be sure they're not heading in the wrong direction. The tech giants need to publish an update before the start of 2013, or many customers may loose interest. Be sure to use Apple Maps with care, or you might end up driving to the North Pole.
