Am I the only one who feels like this is going to launch and be missing like half the country? They need to get faster. The states they first scanned three years ago are already out of date. This needs to be a yearly thing to be useful.
Not bull, many agree and switched solely to Apple Maps, Google Maps has more mistakes than Apple Maps nowadays, you're living in the past as some others do, as I said before, the joke is getting old.
no more terrible Photoshops eitherIt’s going to be a shame once they wrap things up; we won’t get to see those amazing data-collection cars in an article every month or so.
Hey, I'm not that bad at Photoshopping…no more terrible Photoshops either
....Which company would be selling data or has dubious privacy standards?
Can you spot the difference between your original assertion and your reply to my question?Not Apple, Google tracks you, they know if you're near to a certain place, they can then serve you adds or whatever data.
Yes, I knew @justperry was implying Google. I also know he knows that Google isn't selling customer's data. Which might be why he crafted his response the way he did.Well, the top ones, since you are asking would be Facebook, Google and Microsoft...but I believe Google is who the author you're replying to was referencing - they've seemed to have gone downhill with their newer leadership (since the Alphabet change), their current CEO doesn't seem to veer away from the profit choice (respect users privacy or increased profits) like the old leadership at least occasionally would do.

I've gotten to prefer Apple Maps over Google Maps.
In fact, I recently deleted Google Maps due to privacy concerns.
You already indicated you didn't even know Apple was still in the maps business, so you can't have current knowledge of how well Apple Maps actually works now. So how can you call "bull" on something you haven't used for a long time?That’s bull, Apple maps has lead to to roads that haven’t existed since 2008 and lead me to wrong locations. Apple will never catch up to Google since Google got years head start

Agreed, the joke is getting old, Maps came a long way and surpassed Google Maps in many ways, and in the meantime won't sell that data or have dubious privacy standards.
....
I'm paranoid with everything Google does with my information.What privacy concern? Is Google maps taking camera pics of you naked?
Or are you paranoid about Google maps keeping a record of the locations you search? The same thing apple does.

The difference is that Apple doesn’t sell your location data to anyone.What privacy concern? Is Google maps taking camera pics of you naked?

Yes, the joke is getting old but it's entirely Apple's fault for the joke's existence. Probably shouldn't have overhyped a product that was clearly not ready for prime time. Curious about the rest of your comment though. Which company would be selling data or has dubious privacy standards?
...There should be a mechanism in Apple Maps to report problems like that, or at least for users to provide comments or complaints to Apple's Maps team....
