Eitel Hospital on the edge of Loring Park closed in 1985.
Not according to Apple's new iOS 6 Maps app.
The former Minneapolis hospital is still marked in pink with a medical cross on the maps. In reality, Eitel now houses apartments and the Loring Kitchen and Bar.
And that's just the beginning of the Twin Cities-area bloopers in the new Maps app, rolled out Wednesday to replace the Google Maps app that had been standard on iPhones and iPads until now. While Apple's Maps has been praised for some of its design, including 3-D flyover views of some major cities, critics almost immediately pounced on its inaccuracies.
By Thursday there was already a tumblr blog devoted to screen shots of Maps mistakes, and complaints had erupted across social media, including fake Twitter accounts mocking the new app.
The Washington Monument was in the wrong place, closer than usual to the Potomac River. Madison Square Garden was labeled as green space, as was the TD Garden arena in Boston.
In Minnesota, Maps says the Minnesota Twins still play at the Metrodome, the Guthrie Theater has a second location (at the site near the Walker Art Center it left six years ago) and Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville is on the same site as the defunct Orchard Gardens Golf Course. Edina High School is in the wrong place, and TCF Bank Stadium's marker pops up a couple of blocks away from its real location.
In response to complaints nationwide, an Apple spokeswoman has said the company is working to improve Maps and noted that the cloud-based app will get better as more people use it.
