Did Motorola Fake an Address to Make Apple Maps Look Even Worse Than It Is?

Everybody — or well , almost everybody — knows that Apple Maps is deficient to Google Maps . There are countless examples of Apple Maps being worse ! Motorola , however , disregard all the real example and used a fake address to show off how Google Maps is adept than Apple Maps . Huh ?

canny little Moto ! produce a dainty and convenient hashtag for Apple map break ! Showing side - by - side comparisons of the two maps ! It ’s definitely effective . But the address is ‘ fake’ . AppleInsider discoveredthat there ’s no veridical reference listed at 315 E 15th St in Manhattan New York — it ’s a public parking lot , not an address heel . essentially , no one would really search for 315 E fifteenth St in Manhattan because it does n’t exist .

So why does Apple show 315 Marlborough Road all the way in Brooklyn on Apple Maps ? Well , it ’s really not a complete fail . According to AppleInsider :

So why would anyone really be “ looking for 315 due east 15th ” in New York ? The only reasonable reason would be to locate an actual address that does exist in Brooklyn ( which is also part of New York City ) , in an sphere where a series of numbered streets between East 11th and E 16th now have assign name .

What was apparently once the 300 stoppage of East 15th Street is now named Marlborough Road . Five blocks off , Marlborough Road turns into E 15th Street , where numbers begin on the 800 cube .

When you clarify the ‘ 315 E 15th St ’ search to include Manhattan , Apple Maps actually points to the same non - existent speech that Google Maps does . But without the Manhattan - clarifier , Apple Maps points towards an literal savoir-faire heel before give out to the made up speech . It pick out the name and address that someone might search over the one that no one should research . That in reality take in sense , proper ?

Apple did screw up in releasing a half - bake Apple Maps — false listings , screwy 3D humankind — but this was n’t actually one of the failures . Instead , it seems a lot like needlessly misleading advertising in a race where Google is already a thousand miles ahead . [ AppleInsider ]
