Apple rolls out improved Apple Maps for Australia
Users in Australia are reporting that Apple has updated its Apple Maps service to provide improved navigation and mapping details, though not everyone is impressed.

Apple has most recently been surveying Australia for Apple Maps from February 2021 through June 2021, and now the resulting data is being rolled out to users.
"New Apple Maps data for Australia just dropped," said another local Twitter user. "It's better but still a mess - a whole bunch of weird locality names below the suburb level, rocky headlines the same shading as beaches, the individual building shapes are all a bit off."
The improvements follow the similar rolling out of new iOS 15 Apple Maps features, such as improved navigation, and 3D buildings, to Italy and Andorra.

Not sure if this was turned on as of this morning's event, but it would appear that Apple Maps now has speed limits and widespread 3D buildings now in Australia. Yet to see if this is available via CarPlay. I'm certain this wasn't here before pic.twitter.com/jW7PMWoUAv

Also I wouldn’t mock a system that works. Australia has had 60 deaths/1M pop as opposed to other developed countries like USA which has 2200 deaths/1M pop.
It isn’t as simple as that though as life must go on.
I would also observe that Australia has quite a few geographical, climate and lifestyle differences that would always result in better outcomes than colder climes. Even within Australia, it is no coincidence that locations like Melbourne with a colder climate, higher density and it must be said different ethnic demographics and cultural differences are more vulnerable than Brisbane.
best to consider the costs as well as the benefits of any approach.
Given the nature of the disease. What was the alternative? In the early days, in the US, conservative commentators told the old and vulnerable to take a bullet for the economy. They ended up with the worst of all possible scenarios. Taiwan, New Zealand, and a few others had extraordinary success dealing with the pandemic. China too. Because they placed their citizens’ health above everything.
and China? Right. I guess if it isnt written down, it never happened.
The stats for suicides are not up. Stock market is rolling along. Most of all, the death toll is minimal, unlike what has happened in the US, where I lost multiple friends, all parents to young children.
