This is all hilariously overblown and silly. And not about "feature identification algorithms". It's about one error on a map, which Apple probably has already fixed, and will soon if it has not yet.

Have you seen the other thread(s) on the new Apple maps app?

This isn't a one-off. The mapping data is all over the place.

There are a number of examples floating around that make it appear as if Apple is deriving map feature types from their names. For example, a water pumping station labelled as a gas station.

What's that about one error being overblown?
