After the whole Apple Maps detail fiasco, the gang from Cupertino set out to replace the TomTom database it was using with homebrew mapping acquired by good ol’ driving around, combined with satellite images. A bunch of years later, the effort has already born fruit in the form of the updated Apple Maps app with details that even Google Maps doesn’t have at places.
Unfortunately, those places are limited, like California and the Bay Area in particular, for example, and Google is still way ahead in honing its cartography algorithms and land area coverage in the US and abroad.
Apple, for instance, still mostly relies on third-party ratings from Yelp or Foursquare, while Google’s database of places is times larger than Yelp’s, and that shows even on the new Apple Maps. Still, Apple seems determined to catch up to the competition with new Maps features coming in iOS 14.
