What's good is that Apple Maps is slowly improving. They do seem to be fixing inaccuracies and problems. However, it's still crap. In my local streets, I can see countless mistakes (businesses in the wrong place, out-of-date entries, etc)
There's also now a problem with too much information, of the wrong kind. For instance, I opened up Maps the other day to discover that it listed a children's clothing shop just opposite my house. I live on a residential street, there's no shop there!
Intrigued, I clicked on the marker, visited their web page and found out that yes, the company does exist, but it's an online shop and the owner just happens to live near me. So Apple have scraped a database of companies and found lots of registered addresses, but putting this information on the map unfiltered is completely useless.
They've got a lot more improvements to make...
