[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1651801, member: 38864"] I totally recognize that. But Apple's Maps gets it so wrong so often while Google Maps is near perfect. Like the examples I gave... its search algorithms alone are pathetic. "Pool sales" shouldn't be giving me a hit for the community pool at a condo complex. And yeah, sometimes you blindly follow a route because you don't know in advance what's at the end of the route (yeah yeah, a phone call would do wonders). What are we supposed to do... search for a business; then double-check where it really exists (if it still does), then struggle to tell the app to take me to the "real" location? What a nuisance. What's the point in even using a mapping software that gets so much so wrong, especially when the alternatives are FAR more trustworthy? An argument can be made that Google has had a lot more time to refine this, but Apple doesn't even have basic listings for emergency services listed properly after, lessee.... 3 years. That's an eternity in this industry and there's just no excuse for it. Apple soliciting people to submit corrections, then failing to actually act on those corrections, isn't helping endear them to anyone. [/QUOTE]
