Soricidus posted:where are the ads in the google maps app? I've never noticed them. is it just prioritising certain search results or something no what they wanted was identified data and apple would only let them have de-identified. if this were any other app you'd just get a message about what they want to access when you run it, but since it was a competitor apple decided to give them special rules.

as bad as google is with privacy, Facebook is still creepier get suggestions for friends based on phone numbers calling me, on people using my wifi network, or emails they shouldn't know about loving Facebook, I should uninstall it but how am I going to stalk hot bitches without it

Apple Maps doesn't have ads except for 100% of results coming from the Yelp API and requiring that app.

Apple Maps rerouted me nearly 200 miles through northern Tennessee when I took a wrong exit in West Virginia when trying to get to southeastern Kentucky. By the time I realized something was hosed up, I was way too far out of my original route to correct it.

i love the ongoing conspiracy theories that apple refused to make a faustian bargain with google for its map data in their tremendous integrity and desire to not gather user data (at least user data they wouldn't control) instead of it being a capricious choice tim made in his staggering incompetence which led to users dying and him publicly scapegoating scott forstall instead of taking responsibility

even putting a building number and street name into apple maps drops the pin half a mile from the actual location of the building. internet maps from the 90s managed this part.

i told my g/f about this thread and she said the first and last time she tried apple maps it took her to the house she was looking for but did so along a service road that ran through the center of the subdivision so that she was directed to a fence at the far end of the back yard of the property that had no access to the property in question

Apple only has $250 billion in liquid assets, you can't expect them to devote their scarce resources towards getting minor neighborhood map details correct for e.g. hoi polloi like the worlds richest private citizen.
