Perhaps we now can understand a bit more why the change occurred .

Sorry, use Bing or Google maps in the meantime while we fix things.

You should see the nonsense it's generated for the maps it posted to my facebook page. My local pub has moved 2 miles to the west and the best restaurant in the area is now in the field across the road from me (if only!). There is one post from my mate saying he's with me in a pub, and apparently that pub is on a motorway, right in the middle of it actually :D

As I posted, they apparently only hired people to work on it a few days before launch.

Don't worry, we'll fix it in iPhone 6.
