My one wish is that Google not add deals, social networking, or any extra crap and privacy invasion. Just give me good maps and turn-by-turn navigation.

Awesome 3D Maps, 10 times better and more reliable and usable than what Apple plans to announce the next week. LOL. Go Google! Oh…and they’ll announce it will be an Android exclusive!

I agree, it is also slowing their innovation. So many different Android manufacturers out there with all kinds of ideas (some great some not so great). They really can feed off of each others ideas and build newer software and newer hardware to keeps an innovative edge and rapid growth. With Apple working with really primarily themselves the innovation seems to have slowed.

And all proprietary to Apple devices. Apple is banking on total world domination but competition will always exist. Like facetime. Great app, poor execution because its only available to Apple devices. They may be the richest company but the world still does not revolve around Apple.

At least Microsoft and Google are smart enough to know that when they build apps, they need to build cross platform. Apple is too pompous to figure it out. Imagine if Apple developed SMS back in the day. Only Apple devices would be able to send/receive text messages. Anyone see how Apple is working against the progression of technology?

who needs that now that their are autonomous quad copters that can go several miles high, or low enough to peek through your windows all on their own programming without needing anyone to fly them

My new favorite feature is the removal of street names….I dont really care about street names in my beloved turn by turn navigation, us power-users enjoy the challenge in guessing which street its referring to while sucking down gigs of data in our modded-out dual core beasts with pure ICS.

Yeah I’m not sure why some are having issues while other do not. I have Maps version 6.8.0 (#6080013) and I’m running 4.0.4 IMM76K stock ICS. Just double checked and it does say the street names.

I wish they would release those Google glasses soon. Maps are nice, but I want my glasses.

Maybe you’ll actually be able to look into people’s windows in this new version.
