(View all)god why!!
I thought they would consider fixing the massive coverage gaps in central London (e.g. west of Hyde Park) before the likes of Nottingham would be added.
Because there are people who live outside London and the South East? Also, flying a plane around over major cities often requires clearance - not quite so simple.I don't understand why it takes so long. Surely a couple of fly bys in a special plane are all that are required?
google maps is so 1980's
Blackpool is so 1970's. :DI wish Apple would have left the maps to Google. Flyover is cool, but Google Maps has so much of a lead on Apple Maps it's not even funny.
Why? You can still use Googles maps, and with Apples competition, Google are pushed to improve even more. Its a win-win for consumers.Personally I use Apple maps as they are more than adequate for my use and they work well with Siri.
Blackpool, England
