"Potential to be a good, but not ready yet"
on by mark-in-NYCPros * nice graphical interface with turn-by-turn driving function
*3D maps is neat but not necessaryCons * Does not work well for city folks as there is no inclusion of integrated public transportation
* The words "east" and "west" don't work properly. This is especially a problem in NYC where this is critically necessary.Summary Apple maps adds some nice ads from Google Maps, but it simply does not work correctly in some places, rendering it completely useless. If you have the option to retain your Google Maps and not "upgrade" to Apple maps, I highly recommend you do so.
* Does not work well for city folks as there is no inclusion of integrated public transportation
* Something is wrong with Apple's algorithm and the words "east" and "west" don't work properly. This is especially a problem in NYC where this is critically necessary. The maps program simply has no idea where an address like "10 west 83 street" is located -
"A nice to have feature but very limited and buggy."
on by wasenhornPros On the flow fast 3D rendering.
Cons * very few places in 3D
* Bugs here and there
* a replica to google maps. -
"Works very well in the St. Louis, MO area"

Alternate routes
AccurateCons Wish flyover was available on 3GS but oh well
Summary Media hype doesn't apply to St. Louis, just wanted to point that out. May be different elsewhere, but not here. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me if it was way overblown.
