苹果最新发布的iOS6操作系统自带的地图因错误百出而被用户密集吐槽。爱尔兰司法部长甚至对苹果公司发出警示信息,称其新地图将都柏林郊区的一个农场标成了机场,这样的信息可能会使飞行员做出错误的判断而引发灾难。在用户发布的截屏图片中,有个博物馆地址显示在河流底部;莎士比亚的出生地斯特拉特福竟然不存在;用户搜索英国首都伦敦,地图显示的却是加拿大安大略省的伦敦市。另外,很多用户都抱怨苹果新版地图取消了公共交通线路和站点的显示,这个应用在原来的谷歌地图中颇受欢迎。苹果公司发言人在一份声明中表示,苹果新地图是基于云技术的系统,用的人越多表现会越好。他们对用户提出的各种反馈表示感谢,并表示会尽力提升用户体验。而为苹果新地图提供卫星导航服务的荷兰公司TomTom则表示对地图的错误没有责任。

The Washington Monument towers above the National Mall in Washington, directly between the U.S. Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.

But Apple seems to think it lies several hundred yards to the south, near the Potomac River.

The mistake appears to be one of many in Apple's new mobile maps, which replaced Google Maps as the default map application in iOS 6, the new operating system for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. Apple has faced a chorus of complaints since iOS 6 was made available for download Wednesday, and the griping will likely grow louder as people get their hands Friday on new iPhone 5s.

"What Apple has done with #iOS6 maps is like planning a mission to outer space and NOT TALKING TO NASA," tweeted a tech-loving comedian.

Apple announced earlier this year it was replacing its mobile map software from Google with a new Apple-designed system. All iPhone and iPad users are now forced to use the new map system when they update their software or buy the iPhone 5, which will come pre-loaded with the maps.

But within minutes of the new software launch on Wednesday, iPhone users began to point out that a number of landmarks had been misplaced on Apple maps, incorrectly named and lost entirely.

Screenshots posted online appear to show a museum located underneath a river, while the map service seems to deny the existence of the English town Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born. Other users say a search for London directed them to London, Ontario, in Canada, instead of the British capital.
