I'd (before this article) be pretty comfortable following phone directions from say Bendigo to Mildura, which should just be a straight run down Calder Hwy. It seems pretty reasonable to use it to find a route between two cities/towns, which I've done in WA a few times with Google Maps. Though I'll admit I've never used turn by turn for that, rather just got the broad strokes. Is this a problem with turn by turn directions, or is Mildura actually in the wrong place on ios6 maps? EDIT: Took a look, seems like Mildura is actually marked at the wrong location, which is significantly worse imo.

Indeed.

Here's the road you should be taking: http://goo.gl/maps/QbZ88

And this is the kind of road that Apple's maps send you down: http://goo.gl/maps/CdCjh

Wow, holy hell. I admit I skimmed TFA; I'd assumed that the folks got lost somewhere in the bush _near_ Mildura. That's just not good.
