Apple Maps main problem is it still loads WAY to slow on mobile devices compared to Google Maps. I am tired of looking at a grid for 10-20 seconds every time I open Apple Maps.

Apple should just buy ESRI, since they know map data and databases inside out. Plus Apple would get all those nice map edit tools they could add to the Apple Maps interface. It would be a pricy pick-up, but it would put them in front of Google Maps and Google Earth. And it would advance Apple Maps out in front as a business tool(GIS).

The bottom line is it is taking Apple WAY TO LONG to get their maps working correctly.

I wanted Apple to buy GoPro, but they past them up and blew creating a camera monopoly. There is still hope with their maps, but they need expert help.
