Crowd sourcing will not fix the underlying problem with Apple Maps…..basic map integrity. Google tried short cutting this step in the beginning of their map quest (pun intended). They learned the hard way…the only method that works is boots on the ground checking and double checking map info. Verifying the physical map info and making sure the digital data matched across all sectors of the map. Apple Maps is a patchwork of parts in disarray.
TomTom navigation may be acceptable in some places. But the deep integration of POIs with navigation and search is where Apple Maps starts to come apart. Apple’s best hope would be to work out a reasonable deal with Google Maps and bring them back on board. Quit shooting yourself in the foot Apple. Put your time and money to use in places that you can really expect a better return. -
I used the “report problem” function because Apple maps was showing my house 5 blocks away from the actual location. When I checked maps a few days later it was fixed, so I guess they reported problems do get looked at.

I’m currently travelling in New Zealand and the turn by turn directions on Apple are truly awesome. I particularly like how it starts the address search in the immediate locality. Google maps was forever insisting that you were in the USA when doing an address search 🙁
M I have had a similar quick result in Cambridge UK -
Has anyone tried out the Nokia Maps alternative for iOS? I heard it’s supposed to be pretty solid and my past experience with owning Nokia phones would lead some credence to that.
I’m just clamoring for something better than the native map that Apple has stuck me with. I miss the native Google maps big time!
