Does anyone think they don't realize the maps are subpar? The problem is, they can't get better data without having millions of users interact with it daily.

Does anyone think they don't realize the maps are subpar? The problem is, they can't get better data without having millions of users interact with it daily. Their only option was to do the startup-y approach and launch not-perfect then keep iterating. In another year nobody (except for the extreme nerdophiles) will remember apple maps being disadequate.

I think if it gets the average user lost or late even once or twice, they will remember and not trust it. It will also have given people who decided to buy an Andorid or other phone instead of the iPhone 5 justification for their mobile platform choice/change.
