Geocaching map out of date

So browsing around for caches in my area and notice there are some roads and poi's missing, ok in itself not a major problem, maybe they are fairly new and OSM hasnt captured them yet. But no the road and poi's have exisited in OSM for OVER A YEAR now!!

How often does GC update their map tiles? Ok on the website not a major thing for me as i tend to use the OSM layer for more detail, but on the mobile app (iphone in my case) its GC's own tiles or Apple's.

When can we expect updated map tiles?

It's approaching two years actually.  Changes I made in early April 2016 are still absent.  Short answer: they've never updated since they introduced their own map renderer.  It must've been a struggle.

In another thread they've promised a new solution; I think they mentioned looking for a 3rd-party provider.  That's been quite a while ago.  [crickets]

It's odd they don't put much priority on this.  "The Language of Location" - is that still the tagline?  Maps are all about location, and vice versa.  My main view into this whole game is a map app.
