In my area (Santa Rosa, CA) Apple Maps is still worse than Google Maps. The routing is often very strange and it sometimes still can't find stores like OfficeDepot close by.



POIs are a whole different story.

I can't speak for US but in Australia and UK it is so far behind Google. It feels like 1/3 of them are simply missing and a 1/3 of them are inaccurate in some way e.g. opening hours.

I don't know how Foursquare and Yelp who supply Apple are surviving right now with such inadequate data.


Does Apple let users update POIs? We went to a restaurant recently and it was closed, I snapped a photo of the hours and tagged the restaurant with it in Google Maps and it was updated to reflect the correct hours the same day.


1. Press the circle-i icon on the top left of Maps. 2. Select Report an Issue 3. Select Map Labels 4. Fill out the form, and add pictures. 5. Wait a few weeks.

I've added my workplace this way.
