Since its introduction in 2012, Apple Maps has carried the burden of much scrutiny and criticism for the quality and coverage of its mapping data. While Apple’s data has steadily improved since day one, a new comparison shows just how much more work it will take to surpass Google Maps.

As a big screen viewing experience based on one of America’s most evocative myths, In the Heart of the Sea is a surprisingly forgettable adaptation. Long after the Whaleship Essex was scuttled by a bull sperm whale, former crewman Thomas Nickerson recounts the experience of arrogance, greed, and nature’s power to writer Herman Melville - who hopes the Essex story will provide enough material to write his next novel. Tortured by the events, Nickerson is hesitant to share the full tale - which, previously, had been covered up by whale industry financiers....
