If Apple cares about maps maybe it should acquire Planet Labs (http://www.planet.com/) to compete with Google?

Close, but Planet says their Dove sats are limited to 3-5 meters, whereas Skybox's sats are submeter resolution. Planet seems to have more of a change detection mission over a quality mission. Skybox also does video, which I'm not sure about with Planet.
