Apple maps fail

I mean, they’re pretty insignificant errors. Spelling? And Brit/Can English vs US English? Yes we spell it Harbour, but they spell it Harbor in the US.

What’s with that gas station on Georgia between Burrard and Thurlow?

For a blog constantly riddled with punctuation and grammatical errors, this post really takes the cake.

Three mistakes in this post alone.

(It’s only 3 sentences long, to boot).

The issue with the lead image is that Gastown has made its way somewhat south of Downtown…apparently I now live in Gastown.

My curiosity got the best of me, so I looked up this mysterious gas station on my iPhone.  It refers to McCallan Oil and Gas, a UK oil exploration company with a BC office in the Burrard Building at that address.  Guess I won’t be stopping there for a fill-up any time soon…

^Tim Cook, is that you?

the problem isn’t the skytrain line, it’s the 2 urban parks that don’t exist right across the street from the Library.

Spelling on a globalised map service (see: all of them ever) always will reflect local spelling. Which is Harbour.

Apple begins to be so yesterday and quality of everything they do seems to be going fast downhill. Other makers are already leading the innovation, not Apple. Apple is only for the masses, not for individualists or tech leaders. Quite a change in just few years. :-/

Not sure how someone’s phone defines their “tech status” or individuality. As far as I see it, there is no such thing as a phone for “individualists or tech leaders”. In my opinion, a phone isn’t meant to replace the computer on which you do your REAL work. The reason Apple is successful is because they offer what most people are looking for in a PHONE.
