Antarctica, The Home Of Berlin
When people look for Berlin, they usually mean Germany's capital city. However, Apple Maps sends you to Antarctica instead. Admittedly, thereās a mountain called Berlin in Antarctica, but only Apple knows why that's the default in its mapping software.

I'm wondering if they do any testing (alpha, beta, etc) or Q.C. of their apps at all?

What Apple should do it keep this version and restamp it "Electronic Acid Trip Maps" for a novelty.
Oh, and add the purple flare to the pictures!
one other thing, in picture 20, I would prefer the city to look like that, Imagine getting good off road vehicle and driving around that area at full speed. That will make your trip to the store a lot more exciting.
You have to be pretty stupid to start going in circle between 3 different routes proposed... i guess toms hardware should stick to computer related news and not orientation
yes, google maps had some pretty fun flubs when it was introduced 7 YEARS AGO!!!
Most people that purchase apple products do not mind their relatively high prices because the product generally works very well out of the box, they are simple to use, and their bundled software tends to be very good. For apple to stop using Google Maps early (still 1 year on their contract), while forcing a new and immature product on it's users is simply not the apple way. Designing a product and leaving out features so that people have to upgrade in a year or two is the apple way, but it is one thing to leave out a feature, and an entirely different thing to give a feature that has so many issues. I am sure that apple maps will improve a ton very quickly, but it is not like them to release something half-assed.
As stated by boece: Jobs would have never let this happen. Ever. And if something like this did happen, entire departments of people would be fired and replaced. Thus begins the sinking of apple from being the product of superiority, to just becoming another company with flawed products.
At least Google released Maps/Earth as a beta and worked to correct many issues before removing the BETA tag.
