- jeffbee 6y agoWhat a weird thing to say. Did you compare any of the examples with Apple Maps? All of Iceland is flat gray in Apple Maps, as is Morocco.
- imnotrick 6y agoApple Maps rolled out a v2 version in the US that was way more colorful, and changes shades a green and yellow depending on the vegetation. Just because it isn't global doesn't make it a weird thing to say
- luhn 6y agoApple updated Maps earlier this year to include more visual details. AFAICT it's still US-only. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/01/apple-delivers-a-new-redesigned-maps-for-all-users-in-the-united-states/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/01/apple-delivers-a-new-...

- jccalhoun 6y agoMaybe but I hope they do it better than apple maps. I think the colors on apple maps can be misleading. For example, I live near the end of a bypass so there is a decent amount of grass around the on and off ramp. In Apple maps that is a dark green. When I see green in a map I think of parks. In fact, looking at the whole town I live in, I see most of the area is a shade of green. I guess the light green is farm land? but some of that light green as splotches of a medium green in it which I have no idea what that might be. Trees?
