Australian Police Issue Advisory Against Using Apple Maps

Apple Maps' problems continues, as does the app's failings.

Australian police have issued an official advisory against using the guide program.

The maps and directions are so bad that police say they have had to rescue multiple people from life threatening situations, because they followed the instructions Apple Maps gave them.

According to Victoria police they've rescued six people who had been looking for the town of Mildura, but were taken over forty miles away, thanks to the app.

Instead of the town they ended up in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park desert, where temperatures hit over one hundred and ten degrees and there is no cell reception.

Police have also contacted Apple, in hopes of getting the issue fixed.

Apple says that fixing it has become a top priority, amongst many fixes for the map app.
