Thanks.  I think the message to take away is that Apple maps is pretty 
good but still has a lot of catching up to do with Google and even Waze. 
  Question is, what is it going to do to attract Google Maps users over 
to its side?  It's not good enough to be maybe just as good, at some 
point it will have to offer something useful that Google does not offer.
