Card service: Apple plans a new start with Maps

For a long time, he had become rather quiet around Apple Maps. However, the quality of map material is about to improve, as Apple Techcrunch said in an interview. Apple wants to rebuild all map data

Apple told Reuters that Tomtom will continue to provide Cartographic data, In what form this is happening and what will change for the customer, Apple has not said. Speaking to Techcrunch, the company said its own cars will be going around to improve the map data. In addition, one wants to evaluate the usage data of the iPhone, if users have approved the evaluation of the data.

Until the fall of 2018, new maps of Northern California are available. Then, Apple wants – as is often the case in this business – only to provide the US states with new cards that initially. It is supposed to happen next year. When customers in Europe will benefit from improvements, remains uncertain. Apple has not provided any information.

Apple Maps Should Get Better Search

New maps should better point building sites, so changes in the road should be marked more prominently. In addition, pedestrian trails should be easier to find and pedestrian navigation should be improved. Search functions are also being revised so that users receive more relevant search results. The long-term goal of Apple is to offer the "best cartographic application of the world" . To achieve this goal, with the changes coming closer.

To date, Apple Maps can be used exclusively on Apple devices, an application for Android devices does not offer the manufacturer. It is also unlikely that the Google Maps app will be available later for devices other than Apple.
