Politia din Australia a avertizat saptamana aceasta soferii sa nu foloseasca iOS 6 Maps pentru a fi directionati catre locatii, cativa automobilisti fiind directionati chiar in mijlocul unui parc natural in incercarea de a ajunge intr-un oras numit Mildura. Politia a trebuit sa gaseasca si sa readuca la drumurile principale acei automobilisti, si desi rusinea este mare pentru Apple, nici Google nu scapa de atentia politiei australiene. De aceasta data politia dintr-un oras numit Colac atentioneaza soferii sa nu utilizeze Google Maps in preajma Great Ocean Road deoarece mai multe masini au fost directionate catre un drum inchis unde nu exista semnal GSM.
Now police in Colac, west of Melbourne, say faults with Google maps are putting people’s lives at risk along the Great Ocean Road and in the southern Otways. Sergeant Nick Buenen says trucks, buses and tourists are being directed down Wild Dog Road, which is a one-way track, not built for heavy traffic. He says VicRoads has denied responsibility and Google Maps has not responded. “My issue is it’s a significant safety issue for tourists [and] locals, who are getting the wrong information from their GPSs,” he said. “We’re trying to do something about it, but if a 22-seater bus rolls off Wild Dog Road today, [there wouldn’t be] the multi-agency response to this issue that I would like.”
Asta demonstreaza ca nici Google Maps nu este lipsit de probleme, era normal sa nu fie perfect sistemul si sper ca baietii de la Samsung sa renunte la campanii precum aceasta, deoarece Galaxy S III-ul cu ecranul sau mare si “frumos” ar putea ajuta cativa automobilisti sa isi rastoarne masinile de pe marginea drumului.
