- mitchty 14y agoBasically yes, I've reported as many issues as I know for my area. They all get put in place in about 1-2 weeks I've noticed. I don't see why every ones bitching so badly, I have to do the same for google maps too every so often when its wrong. Maps is getting its data from a server, it doesn't really need to be tied to OS updates to improve its backend data.
- klapinat0r 14y agoCould you please elaborate on that? Not sure I follow. If people use it, get wrong directions, how does it improve? Are users able to make corrections or?
- joesb 14y agoYes, that's what "Report a problem" is for.
- _djo_ 14y agoYes, users can submit corrections using the 'Report a Problem' option in Maps. Apple will also be able to correct certain types of data, such as roads, by collecting and aggregating info from iPhones.
- mitchty 14y agoYes you as the user hit the report button when you see something wrong and it gets updated behind the scenes.
- smackfu 14y agoThe "report a problem" for wrong directions isn't particularly good though. It just has you pick one of your recent routes and then you enter in a comment saying what was wrong from memory. Google's system is better: you can pick which step is wrong and then there are radio buttons for issues like "illegal turn" or "incorrect road name".
