Tim Cook Apologizes for Apple’s Maps

By BRIAN X. CHEN

After more than a week of complaints and jokes about Apple’s new mapping service, the company’s chief executive apologized to customers on Friday for the frustration it has caused.

In a letter posted on Apple’s Web site, Timothy D. Cook said he was “extremely sorry” for the anguish caused when the company replaced Google’s maps with its own, acknowledging that the company’s new Maps app did not live up to its standards.

He said that 100 million people were already using the maps, and that the more who used it, the better the service would get. In the meantime, while Apple fixes its maps, he suggested that customers try alternatives available for download in the App Store or on the Web — including Google’s.
