Suspicions, criticism and pranks with the Maps application iOS 6 Apple's have not stopped being produced since it was distributed last week. Mainly it was the users who were angry or mocked the application the most, but it seems that the competition, in a somewhat opportunistic practice, also wants to bring out the colors of the apple company.
Adding to the multiple jokes that users have made of Maps, Motorola began to disclose this Saturday through its Google + profile a comparison between the map service of the iPhone 5 and that of its DROID RAZR M. The ad has a caption that says The real world that fits your hand what does he come to say The real world that fits in your hand. Below we see the two phones with the iPhone 5 having a title that says iLost and Motorola's real name. The jocular continues in the posts that Motorola is putting on Google+. The First of all He said:
Looking for the 315 portal of E 15th Street in Manhattan? DROID RAZR M Google Maps will get you there and you won't be #iLOST in Brooklyn.
Motorola thus made its particular contribution to the countless jokes that have been seen on Maps of iOS 6 and also intended boost virality of this type of mockery by collecting and, re-stimulating, the hashtag #iLost which is being a real hit on Twitter.
Far from stopping, they have continued and posted the same image on another post from Google + in which it stands out that Google Maps on your device does have real traffic tracking indicated with green, yellow and red lights. That way you can plan your trip and not feel #iLost. Again, they suggest the Twitter hashtag.
Beyond analyzing the ethics of this discrediting campaign and its possible merit, it is clear that on the Internet, and especially on Twitter, it is working. Apple has already said that it is working on solving it but this error may be quite expensive for the Cupertino company, since it could add the criticism for this failure to which it would be confirmed that is delaying the arrival of Google Maps to iOS 6. At the moment, they are only rumors but if Google made it public, its users would have reason to be angry.
