Interface is a bit rough and appears rushed - hard to tap on some targets, keeps resetting to current location when moving in and out of the app. The live traffic information doesn't seem as up to date as Apple Maps. Nice to have actual locations available compared to the sparse Apple Maps.

I had a quick play around with it, and major locations seem more accurate, but shops and smaller locations are still off (e.g. in the middle of a road or the wrong side) here in Dublin.

At least the Zoo is in the right part of the city... http://i.imgur.com/4bZWP.png vs http://i.imgur.com/eby5R.png

Agreed. The entire map view (including location dot, paths and markers) seems to be rendered in half resolution on Retina devices.

Public transport in London seems to work very well, and the Underground overlay is a nice feature. I will be using this for the time being.

How did this get past QA? It looks terrible on any retina device (every Apple flagship).
