Dear friends in Japan,
I came across this article in the online New York Times today:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/25/technology/apple-maps-errors-send-japanese-to-homegrown-app.html
In which an iPhone application named "Mapion" is discussed.
It contains the following quote:
"The biggest problem with Apple’s map, Mapion’s Mr. Yamagishi said, is
that much of its data appears to be drawn from OpenStreetMap Japan, a
Wikipedia-like service that contains a lot of incorrect and outdated
information."
I wonder how the New York Times could fall for that misinformation -
Apple isn't using OSM, and if it *were* using OSM then we certainly
don't have "a lot of incorrect and outdated information". I think it is
possible that "Mapion" have perhaps not been entirely truthful in their
press contacts.
All the best
Frederik
