Q: My country lacks of information about businesses and streets, to mention some.  I want to provide my time for free to help populate this information and make Apple Maps useful in Costa Rica.

I love using Siri and your maps.  But in Costa Rica, your maps lack of businesses data, and Siri is unable to provide any information about them, since this information is missing.  I want to offer my time and work for free to help to populate this information in Costa Rica, starting by capital city San José.  Google is much more advanced in the subjet, and I don´t see fair how complete this information is for United States and not the rest of the customers (not to make critic, just pinpointing a fact). 

 

Who do I contact in order to make this offer?

 

Thank you so much in advance.

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.

     

    As to volunteering to help, you can report issues via the Report A Problem under the main menu in Maps:

    Apple does not otherwise recruit users to assist with data correction, in part because they get the data from other companies. It's possible that there is no such compendium source of data for Costa Rica, at least one that Apple has yet been able to strike an agreement with.

    I have been submitting information using the method but non of that data has been included.  That is why I am asking about a direct contact I can speak to.  I understand your statements.  Thanks for the information.

    Sorry, but there are no direct contacts for this that are available to we in the general public.
