Maybe you know this already, but corrections to the TomTom maps are basically
crowdsourced, so you "should" expect continually improving accuracy. There is
some delay while changes are checked, but generally the system seems to work
well. But Apple evidently have managed to bungle things somewhere. On the
other hand, Openstreetmap is totally crowdsourced, and also continues to
improve. I occasionally check areas that I know well, and am seriously impressed
by the efforts that people have put in. I just wish that the app I am aware of
for Android, Osmand+, was properly fixed. At the moment it does not save vector
maps locally, although it is supposed to, so my wifi only tablet is not terribly
good for navigation! In all fairness to the developer, it may be something that
I am doing wrong, or maybe because my tablet is rooted, but I am confident that
it will be fixed before long. In the end, crowdsourced maps will take most of
the market, because they can be kept up to date more readily than any
alternative, in most well-populated parts of the world. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
