It would much simpler for you to move to Vancouver.

For everyone needing bus routes and per bus details you can still use maps.google.com. We are still stuck without street view for the time being.

Can someone please tell me why the people on this forum are snappy and condescending? It really makes me want to stop reading here.

Irritability brought on by the disappearance of perfectly good features like street view, I'm guessing. Of course, if you've stopped reading already, you will miss this point. I'm going to hold my breath until people start to get along better.

Love the new maps app. Google Maps has directed me to places 15km away from the actual location, so I had already learned to not trust it.

Turn by turn works for me. Walking directions work for me. Public transit does not work, but not a function I've ever used, even though I use transit every day. Haven't run across any not found places yet, either.

No I don't believe it will, which is why for travelers the stock app will not replace third party options.

Overall function is nice and with siri it has worked well. When I swear at siri she doesn't listen to me or give me directions.

Blowback from the "switch to mac" campaign. PC users may be using macs now, but they are still rude and obnoxious no-it-alls inside. It was so much nicer when macs were only used by the easy going creative types!

As someone who uses public transport to get to different job sites at all different times, transit recommendations via the built in maps app (coupled with "Rocket Radar") have become pretty necessary in navigating the city for me.

I may even hold off on iOS 6 until a standalone Google Maps app is out.

Online discussion can bring out the know-it-all in some of us. We will say thing we wouldn't normally say in-person.
