Despite the dead horse beatery, this one's actually pretty funny.

[–]Desslochbro 70 points71 points ago

This is the first (and probably last) apple maps joke that made me laugh.

[–]danshooby 19 points20 points ago

there was an snl skit last night making fun of people complaining about the iphone 5 and apple maps. it was fucking hilarious.

I do get surprised when things on reddit make me laugh out loud, and this gif did.

[–]BigClifty 22 points23 points ago

This is funny and all but I saw one of my friends post on facebook saying Apple Maps directed him the wrong way down a one way street and he almost got in a head on collision.

Doesn't matter what phone/gps you use, you still need to read the fucking signs in case it gets something wrong.

[–]Hollic 0 points1 point ago

Fucking this right here. Even in this thread there are these herp de derps bitching about how the maps app turned them down one ways... How about pay attention to the road, dumbshits? I mean, I get that google maps was pretty cool, but turn-by-turn built-in is pretty badass, and I'm not going to fault them for getting some stuff wrong.

[–]TigerWylde 2 points3 points ago

Anchorage is full of one way streets - I can barely navigate paying full attention to the roads, no wayin hell i'd trust an app here.

[–]MELSU 1 point2 points ago

Honestly, people got around fine before gps was attached to every new device/product.

[–]ryanistheryan -3 points-2 points ago

Or listen to your girlfriend... whos like make this turn right here. As I drive onto a one way street with the rental car...

I don't trust you anymore, please use the tomtom app (on my phone) and not use google maps(on hers).

[–]le_moore 139 points140 points ago

Am I the only one around here that hasn't had a single problem with the new maps?!

[–]Semajal 45 points46 points ago

Dunno, where I live (England, town of 30k people or so) the information is terrible. It lists a number of businesses that have not existed for years, it doesn't have our train station and is unable to find a number of businesses that DO exist (the o2 store I bought my iphone 5 from, as an example). It also is missing 3 of the nearby petrol stations, and lists two more places as petrol stations that do not exist/sell petrol. The navigation system is brilliant though and I love using it, just the data is terrible. Also it has no usable aerial views of anywhere near me.

I feel the problem is that Apple tried to run before they could walk. All the 3d stuff and flyovers are fine, but FIRST you have to have all your maps up to date. Google has added new features incrementally to its maps over the years, Apple has tried to match a lot of features without getting the basics sorted.

Also they need to localize the design/style of maps. It refers to motorway junctions as "exits" (we don't use that as terminology in England) as well as colouring motorways yellow (should be blue).

[–]Obviously-trolling 12 points13 points ago

Manhattan guy here. It has 90% of the businesses names wrong or from a different decade.

[–]TheIndieArmy 13 points14 points ago

I opened it. Saw a gas station listed that hasn't existed for about 20 years. Closed it. Never going to open it again.

[–]jarjarsinks 0 points1 point ago

Apple maps are for time travelers! The distorted imagery might be the space time continuum going bonkers. Listing old locations could be points in space where they can safely 'appear' out of nowhere.

Hmm.

[–]Mr_Dmc 0 points1 point ago

You didn't report the problem? You just came to the internet to complain?

    I'm a pizza delivery guy and I used to use Google Maps for directions if I ever got lost or needed directions. The amount of times I would type in an address and it couldn't find it on iOS Maps is ridiculous. I have to resort to opening the browser and finding it through Google Maps.

    It's so fucking frustrating when it does "find" an address and doesn't even take me near the place.

    [–]Roflcopter71 97 points98 points ago

    Most people beating this dead horse haven't even used the new maps.

    [–]srgt_pepper 15 points16 points ago

    I can say personally that for me... it got me more lost than any gps ever.

    [–]1324356565 4 points5 points ago

    I made fun of it for a while but kind of stopped. Used it for the first time yesterday, my town is screwed up on apple maps, everything is in the wrong place and its just bad. The ridicule continues...

    [–]Senor_Wilson 50 points51 points ago

    Yeah, but... Fuck Apple?

    [–]bitterbritter 13 points14 points ago

    I have and I nearly got hit head on because it told me to turn the wrong way onto a rural highway. It was pitch dark in a rural part of my state that I was not familiar with. It wasn't until I had already turned that I saw signs saying I was going the wrong way. I haven't made fun of or complained about the new maps but that incident was really scary and it pissed me off.

    [–]Hollic 7 points8 points ago

    Protip: Read road signs.

    [–]bitterbritter 0 points1 point ago

    It was pitch black on a rural highway, there were no signs until I made the turn. Then I could see a wrong way sign on the side of the road. It's pretty rude of you to be sarcastic. I wasn't sarcastic in my post, I just shared an experience.

    [–]gamelizard 2 points3 points ago

    im sorry that apple overrides your eyes.

    [–]bitterbritter 0 points1 point ago

    It was pitch black on a rural highway, there were no signs until I made the turn. Then I could see a wrong way sign on the side of the road. I'm sorry that you are a dick to people on the internet for no reason :/

    I have had no problems, infact, it has worked great for me.

    [–]Sir_Jeremiah 3 points4 points ago

    It works like ass for me.

    [–]Eightbladedsword 3 points4 points ago

    My only problem is that it doesn't do bus routes any more, but that's relatively minor considering that I have them all memorized at this point. It's just annoying that they took away a really basic and useful functionality. I'm sure they'll fix it at some point.

    [–]TheOtherSideOfThings 3 points4 points ago

    From what I've heard most of the problems come from places outside of the US where Apple's map data majorly lags behind Google's. Sadly it might be like that for some time as collecting map data takes a lot of time and other resources. Luckily for Apple they've got plenty of money to pull it off. Now all they need is the time.

    Did I say something wrong reddit? Is it because I want Apple to succeed in its maps endeavor so that the consumer get's better options to choose from? Is it because I said Apple has plenty of money(they are the wealthiest company in the world)? Is it because I was placing an emphasis on those outside the US? I NEED REASONS FOR THE DOWNVOTES SO I CAN MAKE YOU HAPPIER! HELP ME HELP YOU REDDIT, HELP ME HELP YOU!

    [–]Hellenomania 5 points6 points ago

    I don't have the time to wait, outside the US, so I will take Android or Nokia which has had it for almost ten years.

    [–]TheOtherSideOfThings 2 points3 points ago

    Which is fine, I use Google maps+Android and think it's great. I want Apple to do well too though because more competition means better options for the consumer.

    [–]Antony_Aurelius 2 points3 points ago

    Nope. I live in Arizona and I have had perfect turn by turn instructions to everywhere I have asked it to take me. I won't say that its completely good, because I haven't used it in any other city, but my experience has been nothing but positive. I love it.

    [–]Mr_Showtime 0 points1 point ago

    Some of the features are different and wonky, but I've had no problems with them "not working" like everyone outrageously claims.

    [–]dbosworld 0 points1 point ago

    Mine works fine.

    [–]lrony -2 points-1 points ago

    You have to get out of the house first.

    [–]xrelaht 1 point2 points ago

    Haven't used it, but I'm told it works much better in the US than other places.

    [–]Tekuzo -1 points0 points ago

    It doesn't have any real problems in my city, but when I go traveling up to Toronto it has problems.

    [–]ZionsAssassin25 1 point2 points ago

    Maps work super good here in Utah USA.

    [–]Chyps91 1 point2 points ago

    I haven't either! They've worked great for me. A lot better than the sucky google maps directions.

    [–]Platinumized 0 points1 point ago

    Not at al. Just the same ole apple haters out there.

    [–]alexrmay91 -4 points-3 points ago

    Nope. In fact the only time I've been steered wrong was thinking 'there's no way the data is correct for this', and ignoring it. I use it pretty frequently. Incredible accomplishment for a young product taking on a google product legend, if you ask me.

    [–]doomgiver98 0 points1 point ago

    Please clarify: when was the only time you were steered wrong?

    [–]alexrmay91 2 points3 points ago

    Yeah I didn't word this right. I have put the directions in my phone, and it told me to do something that was against my instincts. I followed my instincts and was wrong, where if I just followed apple maps, I would have been fine. It's happened a couple of times. In short, I'm extremely satisfied with the service, and will just listen to it from now on.

    [–]doomgiver98 1 point2 points ago

    Alright, well I'll stick to Google Maps - a service I know I can trust.

    [–]alexrmay91 2 points3 points ago

    Good luck to you! Well, good luck to me would be more appropriate. But whatever floats your boat

    [–]ZippoS 0 points1 point ago

    Nope. I miss the building outlines and built-in street view, but that's about it.

    I've tested the navigation on a few occasions now and was very pleased with it.

    [–]accountingkid54321 -3 points-2 points ago

    It is obvious the application doesn't have any problems, is just people hating on Apple. Right? Right?

    [–]ThePostFuturist 7 points8 points ago

    While I heavily relied on Google Maps to give me transportation info, the lack thereof gives opportunity for 3rd party apps to compete and improve the consumer experience. I use a transit app for that now, and it works fine. Google maps (for iOS) never provided bicycle directions - and I had to use a 3rd party app for that, too.

    [–]needs_help_badly 0 points1 point ago

    What third party app do you use for bicycles?

    [–]ThePostFuturist 1 point2 points ago

    Horseception.

    [–]I_am_not_a_black_guy 47 points48 points ago

    Wait even though your getting downvoted I think that joke was a lot deeper than people are perceiving.

    Youre replying to a gif about beating a dead horse.

    Youre using a joke that has been beaten like a dead horse for what seems like ages.

    It really is a horseception.

    [–]ThymineC 11 points12 points ago

    It goes deeper than that, because one of the most beaten horses is someone being dumb and substituting the meaning of "inception" with "recursion", and then someone comes along to point out how dumb it is that someone's substituting the meaning of "inception" with "recursion".

    And here we are.

    [–]AdamTheNiukka 15 points16 points ago

    Is having an erection normal at this stage?

    [–]Hi_Im_Brent 7 points8 points ago

    I would be concerned if you didn't have an erection at this point.

    [–]PineappleBoots 1 point2 points ago

    Confirmed.

    [–]runedeadthA 1 point2 points ago

    Especially since Inception means "Implanting an idea in someones mind". Mis-use of Canon!

    [–]alexxerth -1 points0 points ago

    I thought inception was the process of going into the dream.

    [–]I_am_not_a_black_guy 0 points1 point ago

    Recursion? Someone follows Neil deGrasse Tyson on twitter

    [–]alexxerth 0 points1 point ago

    Or is a frequent reader of xkcd.

    Or knows sixth grade vocabulary

    [–]alexxerth 0 points1 point ago

    Or goes on google

    [–]Drfuzzykins 0 points1 point ago

    Generally it isn't recursion either, but nesting, since it's usually just things within similar things, not defined by recurring similar things.

      [–]Pamander 1 point2 points ago

      Actually I tried the iOS 6 maps app in Alabama last night and it tried driving me into the water and going straight through a guard rail. Luckily I turned right and it eventually corrected its self. Can't wait for jailbreak for google maps.

      Wouldn't this be the fault of the driver, not the maps system they're using? I mean apple maps is bad but it does give you a good notice before you turn. Why do we need to make up things it does badly when there's so many other things we can berate it for?

      [–]andr50 5 points6 points ago

      2 weeks ago I was on the highway, passing a ramp to a different highway, and my exit was just after. Didn't know that though.

      "In 200 feet keep left" Soon as we pass the turn "in 150 feet turn right"

      By the time it said that we had already passed the ramp. No way to cross 4 lanes in 150 feet at 70+ mph.
