If it is OSM data then it is a stale cut that is several years out-of-date, more likely it's data pulled from the same origin's as OSM, but with none of OSM's improvements. Map styling is pretty ugly IMHO too.
If Apple is going to get serious about the mapping space it needs to start buying data.
- cjensen 15y agoI agree. In my area, the Apple maps show some roads which have no existed in decades. I'm pretty sure OSM was preloaded with USGS base maps (which are generally decades old) because when OSM was young, it too suffered from the "obsolete road" problem. Some of the errors I remember from the early OSM maps have been corrected in the Apple maps, but others remain.
- ZeroGravitas 15y agoAt least in the UK the data is certainly from recent OSM as changes I personally made to my local area are clearly present in both. edit: the OSM mailing list seems to think it's (at least based on) public domain government TIGER and NHD data in the US, but OSM from 1st-7th April 2010 in many (all?) other areas.
