There is mapping data, and then there is place data (where a business is located).

Google and Apple must use the same mapping data, because I see the same errors in both apps. Of course with Google, after I report the error it gets fixed. I can’t say the same for Apple. And Navteq* has more detailed and accurate data than either of them.

What Google has is superb place data. Apple has… Yelp.

*Assuming you have recent Navteq data. Not the nav system in your car that hasn’t been updated in 2 years.

Something's happened with Apple place data in the UK in the last month or two - it's suddenly become... OK. It was a laughable joke before.
