Yes, and the same can be said of Google or any other map service. All
map services have errors of various types and in different locations.
Luckily we have a choice. I choose Apple Maps because it works great and
gets me where I need to go in the locations I frequent.

> google's maps are more accurate 

Certainly not in all cases, and certainly not in all areas. And which is
technically better, by whatever margin, doesn't really interest me when
Apple Maps gets me where I need to go and is usable for its intended
purpose.

I don't need street view, and I'm sure there are many others like me.
Maps has been usable for the intended purpose since day one for many
people. No amount of your blackballing can change that fact.
