I ran across something recently about Google rewarding contributors to corrections for Google Maps. They give Google Fi airtime. This is the first I have heard of it. Does anybody here know anything more about this?

I downloaded and installed iPadOS 15.7 on my iPad Air (5th generation) over the weekend. Everything went smoothly and it seems to be working without problems.

Friday, ordered the iPhone 13 Pro and it turned out to be $298. I guess they want to get rid of them. At work some 14 Pro's shipped.

I was looking at adding Tom Tom maps to my Google Pixel 6 yesterday, but when I went to the Tom Tom app in the Google Play Store it offered me a free trail, before I purchased.

So, I checked the orders and I purchased TomTom U.S.A. on Apr 13, 2013. The current Tom Tom is TomTom GO Navigation. I am wondering if they just gave up on the old app and started a new one?

I still use my Garmin GPS devices, but the shortcomings become more evident when I travel a bit farther from my home area. I keep my Garmin maps updated, but Google Maps has new streets and businesses much sooner than Garmin does.

With that in mind, I am more likely to run BOTH a Garmin AND a device with Google Maps when traveling away from my typical home area traveling.

I saw this fake message in a pop-up on my iPhone recently:
