As a new resident in a city whose police force isn’t interested in preventing crime, I prefer to avoid certain areas when walking around late at night. Where are those areas on the map below?
When I ask Google Maps for walking directions, it regularly routes me directly through the Tenderloin and other filthy slums when it could just as easily (no extra time, no extra distance, no extra altitude) send me through nicer, cleaner and safer areas.
This doesn’t mean that Apple’s maps don’t suck, but it’s another area where Apple can use external data to make a product that’s eventually superior to Google’s.
