I agree that the users have won. Despite everybody's initial whining about Apple Maps, our options are much better now than prior to the shake-up.<p>Totally off-topic, but that's a really obnoxious photo. Why is the author mean-mugging me as I'm trying to read his article? It's distracting, and makes me wonder why I should bother giving him my time.
I'm going to be admittedly contrarian and claim Apple, along with their users, won. After all, they got turn-by-turn navigation from Google for free which supposedly Google was wanting to license to Apple for a considerable sum of money.
