My experience with Apple Maps corrections is terrible, noticed two shops marked at the wrong spot in my town. Took one to update like 2 months? If not more? And I think I had to submit it twice ?
The second one and this one is the more funny one… there was a gas station 150/200m down the road instead of where it’s marked.. reported it. Didn’t get corrected. Reported again. They came back after ages and they just removed the gas station altogether…. Submitted that now there’s a gas station missing and lo and behold it’s still in review. (Just went and double checked… so it doesn’t show up in the search but if I zoom in… it now just shows the station at its old location and “permanently closed” description…. Just how?)
There’s also the fact that sometimes Apple Maps decides to give you the back entrance to a place … or if a shop or place is at the end of a dead end road (like a fence or something) and there’s a road behind it.. it will tell you to just drive to behind the fence.. sometimes adding 5-10mins to your journey if it’s some awkward place….
So while I love Apple Maps.. the look, the way Siri announces turns/etc (google could learn instead of telling you “TURN NOW” and you just look as you drive past your turn since you had to slow down and all in advance…. Saying stuff like “go past these lights and turn right” etc is way more helpful) when doing navigation have to make sure it found the correct place for the address and it’s not taking you down some back road… Same with lookup , looks way better than street view but unfortunately it’s still wildly limited in places you can look, where as on street view 99/100 you know you can see it. And let’s not mention cycling directions which seem to exist only in very very specific cities ? Cause I have yet to get cycling directions? And in general sometimes I wish I could see both travel times for different modes at the same time so I can compare if I really need to drive or could just walk or take a bus or something. Waypoints for walking would also help especially since sometimes it takes you down roads you know you don’t want to go etc.
To sum it all up: yes overall if you make sure it’s giving you the correct stuff it’s a lovely app, it’s just that you unfortunately still have to double check if it’s correct, and some features just have arbitrary limitations
