Hoi,
Today it is announced that for maps in Commons, maps that are known in
Wikidata we have now support for "geoshapes". Dan, you indicated nine days
agao that this is not on your road map. But it is there. Could you please
inform us how this can be used in Apple maps?
Thanks,
GerardM

Technical considerations are very relevant if one is doing something
technical, for example developing an iOS app or a maps tile service.
Our maps have to be good everywhere and as far as
I know OSM
is superior in places where there is profit to be made from maps.
If you choose to ignore the technical difficulties and half of my earlier
email, then yes, that may be true.
Current maps world wide and historical maps are
what we need. How would
you
use the Apple maps for a map of the Ottoman
empire?
Given that our maps service does not support this, and will not any time
soon, this is very off-topic.
