Dear Apple...

Dear Apple, Runway 1L/19R (the fourth runway at Dulles International Airport) opened for service on November 20, 2008 after a couple of years of construction. Apple Maps was released on September 19, 2012, almost four years later, and over two years ago. Yet your (non-photo, line) map still shows KIAD with three runways. I gave Apple a pass on the early bugs. Thought the climbing walls in the middle of freeways were funny, and almost Dali-esque. But this runway thing offers clarity about why I generally get suggestions that are on the other side of the country when I'm looking for an object that is within my screen's zoom area. You guys aren't really serious about this map thing, are you?
