Apple Maps Complaints: Missing Building Names

Posted by Kyle Yates in Featured, Japan Related, Kansai Technology

Apple is inundated with complaints about their latest venture, doing away with Google Map and starting a mapping service of their own.

People around the world are complaining left and right about missing and messed up map components. Now Japanese as jumping on the complaint wagon.

This morning the news on local TV stations broadcast stories of people bemoaning the use of the Apple maps on their recently updated iPhones. Many wish they had never updated their phones and are afraid of using the new Apple map because they are noticing problems all on their own without the help of online or televised news stories.

Some of the complaints are:

• missing names
• missing buildings
• incorrect location pinpointing

• Many want Apple to succeed in creating a good mapping service, but they are frustrated that Apple brought out the mapping service and it is so flawed. Many people have worked hard getting their businesses listed in Google Maps so others can easily find them. Not being able to find their hard work listed in the new Apple Maps makes people feel like they are back to square one. Apple had better get to work on fixing this or it will spoil the sweet flavor many have come to know and enjoy!
