Is there a web version of Apple Maps?

Folks,
I am wondering if there is a web version of Apple Maps?
Before the trolls start chiming in, let me elaborate.
Apple Maps are not great (technically speaking... they suck), google maps are better, I have multiple apps (WAZE, MotionX-Drive, etc) for NAV.
Apple is not going to move back to Google maps, get over it.
Apple needs to leverage the community to make their maps better
Apple needs to make it possible for me to use the same mapping interface on multiple devices (not just iDevices)
On point 2, get over it.  I don't like it either, but it is not enough of a reason for me to switch to another platform
On points 3 and 4.  Give me an opportunity to help Apple make Apple maps better.  I for one would love an alternative to Google and Bing, especially one that would allow me to have a single integrated app in my devices.
Thoughts?

*ahem* I should first point out that I am a Google fanboy, BUT I won't be going into the "Google Maps, herp derp, Apple stupid" garbage (unless you want me to ;~P). I just figured that I should point out a small correction in something mentioned earlier:
varjak paw The old house on the hill
This may not be something Apple could do since they don't own the map content. That comes from TomTom and others and the licensing may not allow other uses. But you can suggest it.
Regards.
It is not TomTom's data which broke Apple Maps. It was largely Apple's poor implementation of data they purchased from companies such as TomTom. This is proven by the gradual improvement of Apple Maps since its initial release. They're smoothing over the data they crammed into an app and using it properly. Also, my family uses a TomTom GPS for family trips, so I had the opportunity to compare Google Maps (via my LG Spectrum) vs TomTom vs Apple Maps (via my cousin's iPhone 4S). At the time of Apple Maps's release, it was out of the running half the time. Google Maps and TomTom were always pretty close. The only thing I feel had a real advantage was Google Maps seemed to know which side of the street the location was more often (ex. "destination in 400 ft on right"). Which if you prefer TomTom navigaion, that's really nothing worth switching for.
On a side note, if anyone really does want to have an intelligent discussion regarding the pros and cons of iOS vs Android, then let me know ;~)

    No. Even though the second generation is iOS based, it can't use App Store content.

  • Is there a web version of the list of apps featured in the iTunes App Store?

    I like seeing the apps that Apple features in their App Store, like their Collections, or Best of 2013, or their category lists (like "Get in Shape" for the Health category). However, I think the store is a little clunky and I just want to quickly browse latest apps.Is there a web-based version of these lists or are they listed on Apple's website anywhere?

    The only Apple sites that I know of are less useful than using iTunes itself (or Mac App Store if you are referring to Mac Apps), they only list apps alphabetically or by popularity :
    iTunes : https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8
    Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/mac/id39?mt=1

  • Is there anyway to populate the Apple map with push pins ie customer lists

    Is there anyway to populate the Apple or Google map on my iPhone 5 with push pins that will stay there?  For example I would like to populate with all of my customers around the country to help me quickly find them when I am on the road.

    The pins don't stay there, but you can bookmark pin positions, and then drop a pin on the desired customer's location by selecting the customer from the bookmarks list.

  • Is there a way to send errors to Apple Maps on the computer?

    Everyone's complaining about it, so I decided to start adding points of interest in my town, but entering all the information is sloooow on the touchscreen. I'll volunteer some time if I can use my good ol' QWERTY. So... is there a way to access Apple Maps on a full-size computer?

  • Apple Maps and 3G/4G GPS?

    I have a third generation iPad running iOS6.1.3 with the latest version of Apple Maps - I think!
    I do not have the 3G/4G facility operational as there is currently no SIM installed.
    I also have NavFree maps and this latter uses my iPad's GPS ability to allow me to track my movement when out and about, it loads the map, finds me and tracks as I travel.
    Apple Maps, however, seems to present a series of grey patterned lozenge shapes unless I am connected to wifi.  The little blue pin is there, beaming away, but whether that is actually where I am I cannot tell as I appear to be in the middle of a landscape of grey lozenges!  The pin does, though, appear to "move" as I do, although that may be either an optical illusion or wishful thinking!
    Is this one of Apple Maps legendary bugs - sorry, undocumented features?
    Can it be that the free NavFree maps harness the inbuilt GPS facility available on my model and yet Apple's own Maps doesn't?
    Surely not!
    If it is a still to be resolved bug, then when is it likely to be fixed? 
    And if not a bug, then just why does Apple provide GPS ability and yet not provide a mapping system which can use it?

    Yes, ofcourse its supported. I am in United States
    Yes, My APN settings are corretly entered. I have no problem with other applications.
    Infact the WAZE social navigation app is working perfect on 3G

  • Who updates Apple Maps data

    I have repeatley updated pin locations in the desktop version of Apple Maps. At least one or two everyday and have'nt seen a single pin moved. I'm just curious to where this data goes as it clearly doesn't get read or seen

    My sentiments exactly. Apple's plan was to fix all the data errors by crowd sourcing. It appears they neglected to plan for actual input from said "crowd".
    I've reported errors to Google (Maps), I recieved email when I made the request and another email when they completed it.

  • How to add places and roads to Apple maps?

    Hey guys, I live in the middle east so the Apple Maps have very bad details about the roads and places here. I can really improve these places so how can I add informations to Apple Maps? is it an open source like the Google Maps or what?
    Thanks

    The only way I know is to report a problem and describe the additional features there. When using the Apple Maps app there is a button to tap called Report a Problem. Apple sent out a press release encouraging users to use that feature to improve Maps.

  • TS1702 Apple Map is not showing the path as seen in the previous version. Not showing the direction between the locations.

    Apple map is not showing the paths between two locations as shown in the previous version.

    The current Maps app in iOS 6 is from Apple. It is beta software with known issues. The previous Maps app in iOS was from Apple, but used Google as the map resource. There is now a new Maps app from Google available in the iTunes App Store.

    I'm just starting in this area so please explain in detail.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't browse the web on an Apple TV
    You can view any content that is in your iTunes library on the PC via the Apple TV if it is in the correct format.

  • Is there any update regarding Apple maps from Apple...?

    is there any update regarding Apple maps from Apple...? I live in sydney. I Know there are lots of issues with Apple maps but i reported more than 3 issues and i could see there is no resolution for those issues ?

    Apple does not broadcast anything.   The audio encoding options selected for content is controlled by the services the content comes from.  Apple just distributes content they are provided with.  I am not 100% sure but I believe the current ATV only supports 5.1 so it is pretty likely 7.1 could not be supported with out a new ATV device update, and they have not updated ATV in about four years now.   Starting to wonder if they are going to.   They used to own this market and now have pretty much lost it.   You might check Amazon Fire.   I think it might support 7.1.   I finally gave up on waiting on Apple and bought one and am mostly happy with it.
