Australian Police Call Apple Maps "Life Threatening"
"Potentially"
The police in Victoria, Australia, issued a statement late Sunday warning motorists driving to the city of Mildura that they should not rely on directions from the Apple Maps program that comes standard with the company's latest operating system.
According to the statement, Apple's maps program mistakenly places Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park — about 43.5 miles away from its real location.
