We kick off this week of Morning News with some news on Apple Maps.

First up is the report from 9to5Mac that Apple is looking to expand its efforts in crowdsourcing for Apple maps. This comes from a new job listing at the Apple website. According to 9to5Mac so far such efforts have been limited to its own data collection projects and the ‘report a problem’ option.

Meanwhile Macrumors reports that Apple has added nine new flyovers points to Maps. The new flyovers maps are in France, Arizona in the U.S., New Zealand , Sweeden and two other U.S. ...

With it being a holiday in the U.S. Friday we are a bit light on for news today. So we have tossed in a few opinion pieces on the state of the nation in the world of Apple.
