Really? I know to expect this from you, but you're really going to make this absolute statement: "The only people complaining about Google Maps seem to be non-iOS users." and stand by it? Besides, somehow I have no doubt that you're a fan of native apps and would happily espouse how important they are.
It's not an absolute statement. I said SEEM to be.
Because the fact is that the mobile site IS about 80% as good as the native app. Especially given the native app has poor caching and no offline capability.
