I used Apple maps today driving through San Francisco and was reminded that it has no notion of topography and so will take you on the shortest route even if that route is up and back down an obscenely steep hill.

it’s still crazy to me that apple maps would basically resort to “gently caress it, you’re on your own” when it can’t find a route

the licensing page still lists waze as some of the 'other sources' from apple maps, though youre right in that it does only specify map data:

https://gspe21-ssl.ls.apple.com/html/attribution-141.html

they might have it there for map data for areas theyve not vetted or wasnt covered by their other sources, likely not traffic data since they refer to sources for that specifically


Midjack posted:

it looks like theyre listing an exhaustive list since the last time i saw the acknowledgements. im wrong about the waze traffic data (this part looks like rumors from the map data licensing) and id guess they pull from the same local sources as waze and google maps for transit authorities so theres overlap there for government issued road closing which seem to appear consistently between them
