iOS 6 maps is a failure. Steve Jobs would have never allowed such a terrible product to be released.
It's a good idea, but why do this when MILLIONS of people are already doing it on their own iOS 6 device?

Gee, I hope they're not relying on store drones to update the maps... surely something as important as maps require a more highly trained (and dedicated) employee.
However, employees are called "genius".
This.
I'm in little ole' England, pretty central too as it happens yet I'm still about an hour's drive from any Apple store, guess my maps won't be "fixed" by these Geniuses...
Why don't they just follow up with our error reports??
I personally submitted hundreds, since launch. Not a single one was corrected, some of them gaining bit publicity...
I reported some errors weeks ago, they still haven't corrected them... how long will this take?
Mobile Me?
Ping?
Siri?
Lion?
Using Apple store employees won't make the coverage. I mean in Sweden there is only one as far as I know, and it just opened.
Many countries don't have an Apple store.
So here is an idea.
Apple should make a reward system, not a big money making sustem, but some kind of reward system.
Kind of like how Waze is doing it, but involve some real reward like winning iTunes gift cards.
For example, if I submit an update, depending on what type of update, if it is redrawing the map, or just adding, changing or removing a POI, it gives different amount of points.
Some kind of verification system should be in place, so for example adding a POI should have to be done by a certain amount of independent people, and perhaps verified by trusty people who check Yellow pages or similar.
When you get to a certain amount of points you get a status of some kind, perhaps a moderator status and perhaps you get the right to participate in a lottery or similar for iTunes or Apples store gift cards if you are participating.
Make it available for all countries, and you will see people doing this not by chance but to actually get rewards and recognition.
It would be a low cost for Apple, easy for users, and Apple would get a massive influx of data.
True. When Google touts its huge team working on its own maps, do people assume they each have a Ph.D. in digital cartography? Many of them just need a drivers license.
