That's not what I said - nice try at a troll. What I said is I don't need Street View, and I'm sure there are many others like me.

Apple Maps has provided accurate maps for me in the areas I frequent since the very beginning. And I've read reports from others saying that Apple Maps has been accurate for them as well. So I'm not alone. So no, not "for everyone". > apple publicly apologized for how bad their maps are. The fact that Apple publicly apologized does not magically mean the everyone on planet Earth found Apple Maps to be inaccurate or unusable.

Prove it, or I call bullshit. > apple admits it's not as good. why can't you? Show me where Apple said that Apple Maps isn't as good as Google Maps, or I call bullshit. Now you'll no doubt claim you have already provided "proof" in the form of your own personal _opinions_, because that's what you do. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
