Apple Responds to Map Backlash

Well, that didn’t go as planned. Apple’s new map app—designed to take the place of Google Maps on iOS 6, the company’s newest mobile operating system—was met with a high volume of complaints. The cause of the derision? The software mislabeled landmarks, left out key roads, and showed imaginary airports. A “Give me back my Google Maps” group quickly formed on social-networking sites. A spokeswoman for Apple said the company will be updating the program and is “working hard to make the customer experience even better.”
