I should also add that Hop Stop is available for free and while not completely integrated with Apple Maps as yet, the maps are courtesy of Apple Maps. Hop Stop provides public transit directions in the following cities:
New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, Metro North Area, Delaware, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Francisco, Austin, Columbus, Charlotte, Baltimore, Boston, Seattle, Washington, DC, Denver, Milwaukee, Portland, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Atlanta, Raleigh, Miami, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Honolulu, Tampa, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Norfolk, Rochester, Salt Lake City, Providence, Kansas City, Hartford, Richmond, Albany, Lexington, Madison, Reno, Sarasota, Spokane, Moscow, London, St Petersburg, Paris, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Halifax
There are many other excellent apps available today which, while not offering complete integration with Apple Maps are more than sufficient. Certainly far better than the advertising platform Google uses to sucker the poor unfortunates who are lured to Google's closed-fisted grasp.
I think its really ridiculous if in fact Apple didn't include NYC due to terrorist reasons. Google has street view which is more revealing than the flyover feature. the same case can be made for every city in the USA.
Well, Montreal was already the first Canadian city that they had at the WWDC 2012 demo of Maps, and now they just added Toronto. More cities to follow.
In that case, the fact of the matter is that they only have two cities to go until they have all the Canadian cities with over 1 million people. We don't even have 10 cities with over half a million. The others will come, I'm sure.

More than "Sufficient" for who. Would it be those that live in the cities listed above? Wow, that is magical and I hope Apple has a solution for the rest of the world.

Edit... Grammatical.
Google transit work in only a small number of cities based on my travels. No great loss.
It's on my Samsung Galaxy S III, not my computer. Although, I guess you could say it's a computer as I don't need my laptop anymore once I'm out of the office.
I get home and have my Nexus 7 that is butter smooth. Oh yeah, cool about the maps. Just got side tracked by how much I use Google everyday.
This thread as opposed to your "I can't be wrong, regardless of what I post even when it is clearly obvious you're either drunk off your as* or on drugs".
I am at least willing to talk about why Apple Maps suck. That is the reason for a room full of people to discuss what they thing or how they feel.
You are getting really Sloppy and lazy in your replies (if your are still the same Sloppyism).
I'd say that at least one too many personal attacks over the line. Judges?
You want me censored for not having the same opinion as the rest of the postings while the only one that broke any rules was the moderator "TheTallestSki".
Is this really an open forum to give your opinion?
The Ski moderator sounds like he's in his parents house and replying out of his room before he has to go to bed for the 5th grade.
To put it more clearly. Apple maps in iOS6 suck in their current rendition. The room can apologize for Apple all they want.
You're about one or two posts away from a permanent ban, courtesy one of the other mods. Stop posting this stupid crap and get yourself back to a legitimate argument. It's quite obvious you've never even touched an iPhone.
speaking of stupid crap, see your earlier comment ...

Nope.

No, this is a private forum. It hasn't been public for a decade.

Oh, yeah. You're really gonna get people on your side with delicious ad-homs. Also, you're making me want to go skiing, and I've never been.
To put it more clearly. Apple maps in iOS6 suck in their current rendition.
To put it more clearly, it's a beta that isn't anywhere near completed by any stretch of the imagination, and yet the quality of its 3D imagery already surpasses the release version of Google Maps.
If your issue is with the maps being incomplete, so are Google's. Say that I'd like to see the streets of Mussoorie where my father grew up. Can't do that in Street View! Guess it's not as "indispensable" as the Anti-Apple Brigade would have us believe! I suppose I'll have to "settle" for pictures of the place. You know, pictures? It's a form of media I don't have to wait around for some company to get government approval for, as they're available on their own already.
APPLE NEEDS GOOGLE FOR THE IPHONE.
Nope.

Close enough, I should think. Serious question: Why should we have to tolerate the same hundred arguments, long disproven, vomited up in every single thread by the Anti-Apple Brigade when they have nothing to do with the topic at hand (and, as previously stated and cannot be stated enough, are long disproven)?
By the way, I noticed recently that Google Street View in iOS Maps app has some interiors now. It’s rare, but pretty bizarre, “walking” into a hair salon and seeing a bunch of strangers getting shampoos in the Maps app!

If that’s true, then looking at a map I feel like you should be able to see THREE great lakes (under ideal conditions) from the Tower: Ontario, Erie (where Buffalo is) and Huron (Georgian Bay is about the same distance as Rochester, and I don’t see any mountains in the way).

Because America is for free Speech, Apple Maps in IOS6 really do suck. Apple lost youtube today and it's your bedtime.
I have to get ready for a night with the wife and getting busy is what I do best at night. Thankfully my day job supports my night fetishes.
Apple continues to expand the capabilities of Maps in iOS 6 with Monday's release of the beta number four, adding a U.S., Canadian and European cities to those with "flyover" 3D data.
In preparation of rolling out its newest mobile operating system, Apple has updated its Maps app to include so-called "flyover" data for a number of major cities worldwide, including Philadelphia, Manchester and Toronto.
Wouldn't this be a function of what's on the server, not the app?
Any time buildings & roads get updated, they need to update the app itself?
