Isn't it a standard disclaimer? Even if you buy Tom-Tom or Garmin they'll have something similar.


my point is if we had to agree to this disclaimer, there was nothing wrong with apple maps then


Well you shouldn't bet your life on the accuracy of these maps but there's great distance between hugely inaccurate maps and maps with millimeter precision.

My guess is if Apple maps were introduced 5 years ago (or even earlier) people wouldn't complain as there wouldn't be any other better alternative that used to be available.


It's just a legal disclaimer, it's not reality.
