Cheap Vehicle Quote, Australian police urge motorists to stay away from Apple Maps

Posted on Saturday, Feb. 15th 2014 7:15 AM by Online Vehicle Insurance Quotes in Vehicle Insurance No Comments »

Apple Maps is the beautiful but flawed pile of poo that just keeps on steaming. Not long after it appeared in the company’s latest operating system, people noticed that it had a habit of showing destinations in the wrong locations, like a museum located underwater, or refusing to show locations at all, like the town of Stratford-Upon-Avon and most of a few world metropolises. The CEO apologized once, was met with hilarious rejoinders, then apologized again and recommended other map solutions, and the guy in charge of Apple Maps was shown the door, which Apple was indeed able to find.

None of that has apparently helped drivers looking for the town of Mildura, in Victoria, Australia however. Apple Maps still places the hamlet in the middle of the Murray-Sunset National Park, about 44 miles southwest of its actual location. The displaced location map issue has reportedly left six drivers lost or stranded in the national park for up to 24 hours without food or water, in temperatures that can reach up to 115 degrees in the Outback with no phone reception. Six people have had to be rescued in the past two months, and now Mildura police have issued a statement calling the situation “a life threatening issue,” urging caution when using Apple Maps.
