If you are dissatisfied with the application Maps from iOS 6, then you could also throw part of the blame on Steve Jobs, he being the man who initiated the whole project. Jobs made a secret team that worked on removing Google Maps from iOS, he put Scot Forstall at the head of the team that made the current Maps application and the system behind it, and you all know the final result. Some say that Steve Jobs would have withdrawn the application from iOS 6 before the official release due to its ineffectiveness, but Siri was released in beta version in iOS 5, so Apple is on a non-stop road before presenting iOS 6 at WWDC 2012.
It's possible that Jobs would have nixed the app before launch, but that's not certain. Siri, the iPhone's hapless voice assistant, was introduced under Jobs, although it was branded beta. Apple insiders say Jobs himself initiated the mapping project, putting mobile software chief Forstall in charge, and he installed a secret team on the third floor of Building 2 on Apple's campus to replace Google Maps on the iPhone... Jobs also discussed pulling Google search from the iPhone, but figured that customers would reject that move, according to two former Apple executives.
Moving from the past to the future, I will tell you that Apple initiated a program through which he wants to use his employees to solve the problems of the Maps application. The program is run on a voluntary basis and all those who sign up for it must report to the company the errors encountered when using the Maps application. For now, no one knows for sure how exactly Apple will test the accuracy of its application, but it is speculated that store employees will be allocated a certain number of hours per week in which they will test the application and will probably compare it with Google Maps to report the various errors discovered .
Apple said that the application will become better and better as more and more people use it, but probably the number of those who send errors to Apple is small and the company wants to ship the whole process.
