Apple Maps strands motorists looking for Mildura

 Police have warned that Apple's glitch-filled Maps app could get someone killed, after motorists looking for the Victorian city of Mildura were instead guided to a wilderness area.

Apple replaced Google Maps with its own maps app in the iPhone's latest software upgrade.

The app has been widely panned around the world for its poor map data, which shows numerous mistakes.

Victoria Police say that in the past two months they have rescued six people who were lost in the Murray Sunset National Park while trying to get to Mildura – more than 70km away.

Inspector Simon Clemence says he is concerned people using the Apple Maps app could find themselves in trouble.

"If it was a 45-degree day, someone could actually die," he said.

"It's quite a dangerous situation, so we would be calling for people not to use the new Apple iPhone mapping system if they're travelling from South Australia to Mildura."
