You must not spend a lot of time outside of cities. Or maybe it just sucks in Canada? But as soon as you leave a city here it is a toss-up whether apple will get you where you are going, or to some random place ten miles away in an area with no cell coverage :p
Comment on A decade after a disastrous launch, is Apple Maps finally good?

The new Futurama season dropped an Apple Maps punchline in the last episode that felt painfully out of date even for our timeline.
I thought the writing had been decent up to that point, which made me realize how bad public perception still must be (on a product that works great now, imo)

I’ve found Apple really responsive to map updates if you include a photo of the issue in the report.
Also the next version will let you download all the map data for a trip ahead of time. Looking forward to that!

I have sent photos, land descriptions, and even proof that I own the land in question. I sent a correction request from my own macbook, my work macbook, and a friend’s iphone. Some while standing at the place in question. Some standing at the wrong turn they make people take that adds 45 minutes to a 5 minute drive and then doesn’t actually get where it is going.
No luck. I gave up. Now I put in delivery notes: Apple maps is wrong. Use google maps or another source if you don’t want to go for a swim.

Every few months I give Apple Maps another shot, most recently being two months ago, it still tried to drive me into a lake. Don’t get me wrong, aesthetically it has improved greatly! But direction wise, I wouldn’t trust my life with it.
