[OSM-talk] [possibly OT] Apples IOS 6 Maps and the response

[pavithran]

The new map replacement from apple in its IOS has drawn a lot of criticism .

<quote from  http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/sep/20/apple-maps-ios6-station-towe>
Within minutes of the launch of the iOS6 operating system, which comes
preloaded with Apple Maps, users were reporting that London had been
relocated to Ontario, Paddington station had vanished, the Sears Tower
in Chicago had shrunk, and Helsinki railway station had been turned
into a park.

Having said that How much is it OSM data?  There have been messages
saying its the TomTom data but if you look at
http://gspa21.ls.apple.com/html/attribution.html
there is a line "(OSM)
OpenStreetMap contributors, http://www.openstreetmap.org/ "

Pretty confusing and sad to say that many of the comments were against
the map app and suggesting that they would hardly  accept anything
other than google maps .
