Apple Maps
That is not a hyperbolic question designed to get headlines. It’s actually a serious question. Apparently, there are numerous reports of iOS 6 Maps misdirecting users in need of medical care. Buzzfeed reports that instead of taking a user to a clinic, the maps app took him to a “mobile home estate” next to an abandoned doctors office. Healthcare IT News reports that users are being directed to hospitals that have been shuttered for years, the new app doesn’t show hospitals that currently exist, and is misdirecting patients searching for emergency rooms. The Star Tribune reports that iOS 6 Maps direct patients to a hospital that was closed in 1985! Read the full story at ZDNet.
