Apple maps was probably a dumb decision by Apple, but it will get better over time and their user base will just learn to accept the beta quality for now. Apple isn’t going to reinvent the way people use maps with it’s mapping solution so I really don’t see the point. Use one of the numerous other mature third party vendors if you hate Google that much. Of course we’ll probably see Apple file patents and claim it invented mapping for mobile devices so everybody needs to pay up.
