So it seems this slapfest between Apple and Google has been really great for consumers. Won’t be updating till I’m back from Germany but some of the map images being posted on the web seem, well, a bit shit. Shirley google maps will be free won’t it?

Not just in this arena though. The GPS logging software I use on the Mac, Rubitrack, is losing Google maps in the next big upgrade, and switching to OSM. Which means I have gone from seeing what trail I just run, to what city I was near…if I am lucky. Google have every right to charge for their software, but it seems they don’t have tiered charges for smaller developers, as the guy who makes the software stated that if he paid what Google, and Bing, wanted, then it would put them out of business straight away.
Grrrr!

I am going to to stick with 5.1.1 for the foreseeable. Never sure why people rush to upgrade to a new OS, whether mobile or desktop. Especially when it’s a one way process for most.
