What a weird thing to say. Did you compare any of the examples with Apple Maps? All of Iceland is flat gray in Apple Maps, as is Morocco.

Apple updated Maps earlier this year to include more visual details. AFAICT it's still US-only.

Apple Maps rolled out a v2 version in the US that was way more colorful, and changes shades a green and yellow depending on the vegetation. Just because it isn't global doesn't make it a weird thing to say
