Yes, because you are using Google Maps on an Android phone. Apple got rid of Google Maps support on the new iPhone. Instead, their Maps application is being supported by TomTom. People are saying that landmarks and streets and even whole cities aren't appearing on Apple's new program. In addition, they don't have support for public transportation (something that most of the country doesn't give a shit about...but something that really hurts New York and Chicago users), and they don't have the street view that a lot of people like about Google Maps.
Basically, they took a step backwards with their Maps program on the new phone. And they are getting slammed because a company that is known for their innovation should not be taking a step backwards...ever.
