iOS6 Apple Maps Problems - Errors with Locations

iOS6/iPhone5 Apple Maps Problems

Problems with the iPhone 5 and iOS6 Apple Maps having serious errors have been widely reported with incorrect place locations and map errors across the world.

In the UK it is reported that Dudley has disappeared from the map, Old Trafford is in the wrong location and other towns do not appear anywhere on the map. The underlying mapping data is provided by TomTom which makes the mistakes in the iPhone 5 maps even more bizarre.

iPhone 5 / iOS6 The Mobile Cliffs of Dover



iOS6 Apple Maps Problems - Errors with Locations

This is one example from the UK with the White Cliffs of Dover now appearing several miles inland. At the weekend the White Cliffs of Dover appeared at Deal so they seem to be rather mobile at the moment but at least Apple are trying to update the maps in iOS6 as a result of feedback.

With climate change and coastal erosion maybe Apple are already planning the maps of 2050 and this is where the White Cliffs of Dover will be by then!
