[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1651772, member: 38864"] Apple had the smaller of the two local hospitals listed in 3 different places and the larger hospital (who owns the smaller one) listed in over a dozen places. The dupes were all properties they owned, like rehab centers, clinics. and so on, but you couldn't tell by looking at the hits. I submitted corrections for the smaller hospital in particular, and Apple removed all listings but an incorrect one. I re-submitted corrections and it went back to the way it was. Another time they dropped all of them. I eventually gave up. I just checked and it's still screwed up. A couple years ago, I had need to call the local police in a pinch after some Kirby "salesman" aggressively tried to talk my wife into letting him into the house, him unaware I was outside with my dogs (he turned away with a grin and walked off the moment I walked back in with two intimidating dogs on full alert running past me). I could not get a correct number for the local police from Apple Maps or Siri (that's another feature that seriously needs fixing). They had half a dozen listings, none of them right, while Google nailed it first try. It turns out Apple's listings were all random city government offices. I now just have the number in my contacts to eliminate this as ever being a problem in the future. I just checked and it's still not fixed, despite me angrily filing a "correction". This is a really serious problem... literally a matter of public safety. You'd think Apple would at least have a handful of people who do nothing but make sure emergency service listings are accurate. [/QUOTE]
