This.... Google Map's has never been very good on iOS compared to Android for obvious reasons.

I'm not familiar with Google Maps on Android but I'd like to see a good comparison showing multiple zoom levels as well as Apple's low quality maps and high quality maps. A thorough comparison, in other words.
Same here. I would do one myself, but I don't have a developer's license or whatever Apple requires for access to iOS 6.

Hahaha yeah. I mean it works on iOS, but it's about as good as the maps feature you get on a $50 Boost Mobile phone tongue.gif

Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just have a bad habit of correcting people when I hear/see something wrong.

Oh, and the sentence should have read "Would you like me to PM you the email address of the developers that made my phone's keyboard and auto correct so you can educate/ take the matter up with them?"

Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm really not. I just have a really bad habit of correcting things that are wrong. Sorry if I came off as one.

I know how hard it is to post from a phone, it's convenient, but you have to check it multiple times to make sure the stupid auto correct doesn't make grammatical errors. It sucks. And I've personally had experience with HTC's keyboards (assuming you're using the stock Sense keyboard) they aren't a joy to type on to say the least.

Even if they aren't spectacular at launch, they'll improve with time--no doubt.
