    Apple maps takes forever to update new information on maps as someone needs to approve it while Openstreetmaps takes less than 5 minutes to update the database.

      Doesn’t Apple maps use osm anymore? There was a time they pulled osm data and used it in their map. That’s one big disadvantage of the osm license. Anyone even crapple can use the data.

      I recall a couple of years ago some talk about a new open mapping initiative that Apple or some other big commerical players were going to be involved in. Separate from OSM. What ever happened to that?
