Does Apple realize how bad Apple Maps still is? My son asked me what I did yesterday. I explained that I went to a near by park. Fortunately I had been there a few years ago so when Apple Maps took me to the wrong place, I knew what to do. My sonās reply was āAnd bears keep š©ing in the woodsā. Heās deleted it from his iPhone. I keep assuming God or some miracle has fixed it.
Iāve sent and will likely continue to send a dozen or so corrections to Apple each year. Essentially every time I use it, something is wrong. The location is wrong or the address is wrong or the descriptionā¦ something. Something rather major. In New Mexico while trying to get to a state nature reserve, Apple Maps took me to a rest stop about 10 miles away. Really? Is that the best you can do?
Driving home on Thanksgiving, Apple had me exit a perfectly nice I-35 interstate for a few exits and then get back on. Absolutely no reason at all. On the trip to Socorro, NM, driving up the north south interstate, it took me on an hour tour of the country side for some random reason. I have no idea why. (I can now say that Iāve been to the famous Hatch, NM if that happened to be on my bucket list. š¤·)
I keep sending corrections and they keep āfixingā them. While in Germany, I would cross reference Appleās locations and train schedules with Googleās. I hate Google and try very hard not to use anything they touch. But, while Google is pure evil, Appleās competence is very low ā especially with Maps.
What is funny (like a broken crutch type funny) is how Apple comes out and play it up every few years. āItās massively improved!!!!ā ā¦ HA!
