Agreed. The fact that some data is not on par with current Google offering doesn't make the product a bad one. Data issues can be quickly solved, specially when there are so many users to report problems.

That depends on the size of the dataset, and the quality of the reports. It's not obvious that this is true in this case.


For a maps application, the best report is just the location of the affected user. Any lookup on existing maps for that location will show what the problem is.

Ironically... I see that leading to a spike in hits to maps.google.com coming from Apple's internal IP range. :)
