Luckily for you they built in a time delay, construction is just finishing, keep checking back, you might see the 100 metres.

Do you spend every waking moment looking for stuff like this?

Get over yourself Jack? If you cannot admit that the mapping in th UK is on the whole, crapo, then you are a deluded individual.

Sure, I agree with you, if Apple invest in their in house mapping, as they are planning, it could become something incredible and certainly surpass Google.

But it isn't there yet and you have to admit that? Or can you not?

Anyway, they shouldn't call it 3D, should be called 2.5D in GIS terms as it is a fixed slant-angle view.

Had a customer meeting with some of the technical bods from the worlds leading GIS company today. Most of the meeting was laughing at the maps. But what is known is that many proper GIS experts have been head hunted by Apple these past six months, so good things are to come.

It's not fixed at all, have you used it?

IWatkins

Yes, I've used it extensively. Geospatial is my job after all.

Nimbus

I have absolutely no idea what you are on about...

IWatkins

Here is the famous GCHQ building and the western part of Cheltenham. Sorry, detail is awful, both the raster (excusable) and the vector layers (inexcusable).

JackClark

Then you'll be awesome at explaining what 'fixed slant angle' means exactly. No angle seems fixed to me.

IWatkins

They have fixed it on the iPhone, but not on the iPad yet although the fix goes out tonight apparently.

But you ignore my Hybrid imaging post. Do you not agree that is gack?

Looks like a lot of them are coming out of the box having done a drop test already.

My iPad and iPhone maps are exactly the same, what's not fixed on the iPad?

Yes I did ignore your image, you ignored the fantastic 3d map images I posted, seems fair.

JackClark

What percentage would you say was a lot, bearing in mind no mobile device has shipped in such numbers in the history of mobile devices.

The good news is those scratches would have broken other phones as shown in that Android video and Apple will replace them immediately rather than make you wait three weeks without a phone.

jonc

Well in this sample of iPhone 5 users on MacRumors show that nearly 40% of them suffered scratching out of the box, 40%!! It's just one thing after another, Tim Cook has a lot to answer for, Jobs is turning in his grave!!

JackClark

Ha! You really believe that 40% of the millions of iPhones are damaged, Ha!

I know they said 10-15 working days but I was warned probably closer to the 15 days, it seems that the S3 has a common fault that the micro USB port suffers from 'wear and tear'.

The lead then becomes very loose in the port meaning that you have to effectively wiggle the lead in place to make sure you charge the handset and hold it there. I didn't notice at first and left it on charge overnight and by the morning the battery was flat.

Also don't believe that everything the Android software world is rosey either, Google Chrome crashes quite regularly on the S3, I only use it because the installed browser is so woefully rubbish.

try opera, works well for me and is fast. I tried chrome but didnt like it

Dolphin is another good one.

That's what you think, search for something, sponsored results anyone.

If that is such an issue for you, what the f&ck are doing on this site?

JackClark

That's not really the attitude is it. If there was a better looking version of Scoobynet with enhanced functionality and no adverts I'd be using that one.

On balance id rather the odd pop up ( its not like your looking at the screen anyway) in preference to being sent somewhere that doesn't exist.

jonc

I said a sample of users from MacRumors, not the world. Besides for a company that prides itself on perfection (well at least it used to! ) one damaged phone out of the box is one too many, this wouldn't have happened under Jobs watch. It's been one calamity after another and a disastrous PR exercise from the start that has evidently overshadowed the launch of iPhone 5. This is what the iPhone 5 will be forever remembered for.

And this Jon is where Apple's customer service will shine. Any damaged phones will upset Sir Ive as much as it upsets the new owner. No other phone company would give a poo.
