This. The failure is not an inferior mapping product (I've worked closely with the industry and my shallow dabbling in mapping gives me a small idea of how truly difficult it is, and how truly impressive it is when it gets done right), or at least I don't blame them for having a immature mapping product, the failure is in kicking out a mature best of class product and switching to something inferior. Makes sense at some business level, but not at a consumer level.
