They lost their marbles, they lost their money, now they lose their way.
Apple is obviously designed for a certain class of people, and man does it delight in getting them.

In Apple's favour, GPS is obviously a flawed system. I've lost my GPS.

“The classic criticism that thoughtless Apple haters use against the company is that it makes products that are pretty but dumb. Usually those criticisms are by people who don’t understand the value of a comprehensible user experience, frustrated by the reality that many people will eagerly trade the open-ended technologies of competitors for the simple and satisfying experience that Apple provides,” says blogger Anil Dash in a scathing takedown. “But this time, they’re right: Apple’s made a new product that actually is pretty but dumb.

For the benefit of passengers using Apple iOS 6, local area maps are available from the booking office.

Now I've got Nokia Drive on my Lumia 800 sorted out, it doesn't seem that bad after all ...

Like I've pointed out to them the speed limit along the Ellerslie-Panmure Hwy shows as 60kph, not 50kph. Including the bit where the speed camera opposite the Shell station can trap the unwary. I don't know yet how long it'll take them to action that.
