Trekking the Grand Canyon for Google Maps

This is something that I don't see Apple ever doing on their own. I don't think you'll ever see a blue shirt sporting genius with weird looking camera headgear trekking around the Grand Canyon.

But, maybe they'll buy a company who would? What do you guys think?

P.S. I'm not an Apple hater at all, writing this with a Macbook Air, Cinema Display, iPhone 5, and an iPad on my desk. But I do feel like as far as this much dedication to their mapping service, it's not going to happen.

Seems utterly improbable. That was my first reaction to: Apple would never do this. Per my comment elsewhere, I'm not sure that's a terrible thing by itself.

They'll have to. The future is local mobile social.

And here I thought the future was social global device-agnostic...
