Downloaded and deleted after 1 day of using it. Expected more from the king of maps. Way more.

> Downloaded and deleted after 1 day of using it. Same here. The lack of address book integration is a complete deal killer. I thought the traffic would be useful, and it is more useful than the traffic on Apple maps. I tested Mapquest for traffic also, its OK, easier to read than google maps traffic. My current favorite, for traffic, is the Nokia HERE Maps app. For actual navigation, I use Navigon or Apple maps. Definitely not the new castrated google maps.

Quite likely the worst app ever downloaded so many times.

People just downloaded it for testing; it didn't prove that the app was yet successful.
