    Well, it's here. iOS 6, and with it the complete downgrade that is Apple maps from the original Google maps. So..... Dublin Zoo is near Grafton Street, There's a Chinatown at the top of O'Connell Street. And let's not forget Dublin's endearing and unforgettable place names like 'Ulsara', 'Angiery Camden Core' and 'Coolcock'. Then there's the small matter of the Airport in the southside lol.

    There's some pretty good screenshots of these over on the Journal!

    Anyone else found anything funny? Also how do you find the update in general?

    Haven't seen anything funny as of yet however I have seen several people's residential information being listed with a little car symbol? Full on - address, name, phone number. My house and several of my neighbours were listed - made me very uncomfortable to say the least. I know TomTom provided the addresses for Apple Maps but what the hell?

    TBH Google maps on the desktop is wrong in my area. As is my Garmin. keeping them up to date and free of errors seems to be a problem, which is surprising.
