Clever use of an article to shill....
Obviously, you resent Apple and iOS being castigated for putting out a "less than admirable effort" for their iOS map function, but the fact remains that, what Apple put out a couple of months ago was a disaster, even if it could "reliably" get people to most destinations they wished to be taken to, but, if it can't be as reliable as the competition, then it should never be relied upon, because, the times when it takes someone to the wrong location, could end up being disastrous to the user. It's better to be safe than sorry.
I have no doubt that, eventually, iOS will have a much better map application, but for now, it's not as reliable as others.
