I don't know, here in UK they just seem to be barren, with major roads still missing, they don't know about "no right/left turn" signs in places, they don't know about one-way streets......it's not a good system.

I don't know how it can be using TomTom's data if TomTom doesn't have any of the same issues.

I really struggle to believe that. Major roads missing from Apple Maps? Can you give any examples?

That one’s the “new map data” so it’s all original or government sources.

Maybe they got tired of mapping the millionth quaint village named something like Branstonpickle-upon-Trousers.

There's definitely a passable road in my neighborhood of Baltimore that Apple Maps doesn't know about, and always tries to route us around until we turn onto it.
