Nokia: From leader to lost-in-the-desert at the speed of light
You would almost think they were using Apple Maps! Does that make Nokia's mapping software just as bad, then?? Hey wait--that reminds me: NOKIA HAS MAPPING SOFTWARE. Holy crap! Nokia's so irrelevant that everyone's even forgotten that they COULD pull themselves out of the deep, dark hole they're in by selling services to MANY platforms (they COULD have made their software for Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone and everyone else) but it doesn't look like they're interested in doing ANYTHING that might actually help themselves if it makes Windows Phone look worse (unlike Google Maps, which actually looks great on both iOS and Android--and makes them have a footprint even in their competitor's platform).

Idiots.
