Looking to get lost in the Twin Cities? There’s an app for that.

Star Tribune reporter Colleen Kelly found that getting lost could be easy when using the new Apple Maps on the iPhone 5.

“A search for the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis on Apple Maps sends people to the old Guthrie Theater near Walker Art Center and Loring Park, not to its location near the Mississippi River. The Guthrie moved in 2006. The current location of the Guthrie does show up, but searches send you to the previous location.”

She details other glaring problems, many deal with outdated addresses. Apple Maps relies on the same technology as Tom Tom directions and will adapt after users report wrong directions.
