Apple maps takes forever to update new information on maps as someone needs to approve it while Openstreetmaps takes less than 5 minutes to update the database.

I recall a couple of years ago some talk about a new open mapping initiative that Apple or some other big commerical players were going to be involved in. Separate from OSM. What ever happened to that?

It actually exists now.

Data quality isn’t quite there yet. I’m biased though as I’m an OpenStreetMap contributor.

Oh neat. Are their maps actually being used by Microsoft's Bing Maps or other user-facing products yet?
