The places I most want to go to I don't need directions for.

  That seems to be the biggest flaw for me. There are shops that I go to every week, and I never type them into Google (Maps or otherwise), and I'd certainly never need directions. If I need directions to "B", the only thing it's a good indicator of is that I probably haven't been to "B" from "A" before. Value could only be determined if I went there more than once, but in that case, I wouldn't "tell" a search engine.

  Having all aggregate phone location data available for comparison would be useful in balancing that. If you could compare where people are to where they're searching for you could figure out what new places people go to and what places they go to but don't search for. Rank places based on how often people go back there - sort of a geo-Backrub. Google and Apple obviously can have that data, but do privacy constraints prevent them from using it?
