quade 3 #12 December 8, 2013 ryoder***And google maps. It's funny, after all the grief Apple got over Apple Maps, in past year I have now *twice* had to use Apple Maps when Google Maps got confused over a destination. The issues for me seem to not be so much with the apps per se, but the databases they use. I find pure street addresses fairly accurate on both, but if you ask for landmarks like say, Hollywood and Highland, a shopping center in Hollywood, California, the Apple Maps app sends you to Hollywood, FLORIDA, because obviously some jackass entered it into the database wrong. And . . . this issue isn't going to ever really go away either because businesses change, buildings get torn down and there is an occasional jackass on Yelp who geotags a coffee shop with bad info.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the third time the nice Google lady was drunk and gave the wrong directions; one of my colleagues suggested "Waze." The first day of playing with it was impressive. The next day, Google bought it. Guess they thought it was easier to buy something awesome, than to fix their own awesomeness. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
promise5 17 #14 December 9, 2013 Is it droppable? I really need to trade mine in since I've dropped it one to many times and have a very cracked screen. I don't want much, I just want them to make one that is bomb proof because that's basically what I would need.No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

davjohns 1 #22 December 9, 2013 I'm a Samsung guy. GPS bluetooth linked to my motorcycle helmet. Music. Alarm clock. (I don't really use the phone) Morning brain stimulus with Soduku (SP?) or chess or crossword. Times my runs for me. If I was as useful as this thing, I'd demand a raise. Have fun!I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
