Visually interesting, but functionally leaves a lot of be desired. Seems more style over substance.

e.g., Zoomed over the entirety of the US - San Jose appears over San Francisco. Entirety of Midwest is empty even though there's plenty of room for some city names. Boston and New York make the cut, but evidently Baltimore is more important than DC :P Jacksonville FL makes the map before Miami or Orlando?

Hell, when zoomed into North Dakota not a single name is drawn.

This is pretty sloppy for Apple standards.

Actually it's a bug in the web app. If you actually look in iPhoto, there are detailed tiles for the region you mention.

Heh. Cork, Ireland: only two features visible from altitude are Apple's own site and - yes - another golf course. They do seem to be big on golf.

They are really inaccurate. The street I live on is completely missing in their tiles.

Looks to be a few years out-of-date, and there's an entirely invented lake right where my local drugstore is.
