Map Comparison - Google to iOS 6 Maps

Sep 2012 - This is a real world comparison of the change in maps from Google to the early version of Apples beta maps product in iOS6. Although we are confident they will improve over time, if you are a professional or traveler of any kind, this is a very serious step backward right now. You need to decide for yourself if you wish to upgrade right now or wait for some improvement. It is hard to say how fast it will get to a satisfactory level. If you are heavy road warrior, we recommend waiting.

Images used here are from the Camp and RV app but the same concept applies to Truck and Travel and all other mapping apps.

Fig 1: Original Map has detail, small roads, exit numbers, etc.
Fig 2: New iOS6 Map...Hope you survive to tell your harrowing story on 20/20.
Fig 3: Google Directions, currently still in app under the Directions buttons. This gets you there on the right side roads.
Fig 4: Apple Directions, gets you to a highway to park your car and hike!
What do you think? We can't go back to the old detail maps as it is out of our control. It is device/OS dependent. You can stay with earlier iOS versions for a bit. Going forward, should we include buttons for both Apple Navigation and the old way to open Google in Safari? More buttons but you have more options.
