Maps 2.0 – Thoughts
Well hats of to nokia (and those that know me will know I never take of my hat :-)) the new Maps 2.0 is much improved.
Firstly any of the issues that I have had with the beta seem to have all gone away. So someone must have been listening. Secondly a lot of the map issues have been updated. Even with Maps 1.0 there were a few strange things such as railway lines that just stopped and started again and they are all working as they should.
However… why oh why for Melbourne do they not show tram tracks. Come on people, anyone who drives in Melbourne will really want to avoid roads with tram tracks. But you can’t. I have lived here for 5 years now and still get caught out on some roads. Navigation needs to avoid things like this.
Also river crossings for the Yarra. There are a few pedestrian only crossings. Why doesn’t the ‘Walk mode’ have them. You have to walk a long way to cross the river unless you knew the area. So tourists are going to have issues.
But overall it is stable, it works and I am happy 🙂
