New map application: Here's how Apple Maps wants to beat Google Maps

What happened?

Apple completely rebuilds its map service.

The new Apple Maps would provide:

• high quality maps with many details, in the field and on buildings (2D and 3D).
• Quick bug fixes and updates.
• Reliable traffic and road condition information in real time. Whether it's traffic jams, job sites, hijackings or pedestrian changes
• A High Level of Data Protection

How Does Apple Do That?

The company relies on its own data to cooperate with third-party vendors such as the Tom Tom-Tom Tom Navigator or Open Street Map.

Apple wants to re-measure the world. It's something that another big company has already done: Google.

Apple has also copied some of the Android providers. For example, special vehicles.

Unlike the US "octopus data", which had to run due to Street View process and was defeated, among other things, against the highest Swiss data protection, with the new Apple Maps. Soil: High-resolution Images and Geospatial Data from Vehicles Apple Maps

Das The new Apple Maps will be filled with real-time information provided by iPhones and other iOS devices. Apple emphasizes that confidentiality is a top priority. Users decide whether to submit anonymized data to Apple Maps servers ("opt-in").

• All that Apple sees is a random excerpt from anyone's journey.
• The transmitted data did not allow any conclusion as to their exact origin.
• Based on the data, no trip could be reconstructed. It does not matter who asks. Say: Even investigators and intelligence agencies would have the inconvenience

What does the new Apple Maps look like?

Much more detailed and up-to-date in terms of map content. In contrast, the user interface remains the same. At least for the moment. A redesign is quite conceivable

When will the new Apple cards come?

This week. With the next beta release for iOS 12.

However, the new map is limited to the San Francisco Bay Area for the moment

Apple does not comment on this

The team at Apple Maps is global, the project leader, Eddy Cue, is only clarifying it.

We know that Apple Maps cars are already on several continents, with high-tech and laser cameras (LIDAR) scanning the environment.

Is the information reliable?

Yes.

Apple gave an American journalist exclusive access to the project hitherto secret: Mattew Panzerino is editor of Tech Crunch, one of the most popular English technology information portals .

Panzerino released his scoop Friday night and a sequel to a sequel with details.

Why does Apple do this?

Apple is heavily behind in its card service. Google's biggest competitor is a market leader and has invaluable global geospatial data.

However, Apple's top management has invested too much to invest in its own mapping service in a timely manner. Instead, Apple Maps launched an emergency solution based on third-party cards in 2012.

Apple Maps 1.0 relied on a mosaic of data from partners such as Tom Tom, Open Street Map, and D & # Other geodata brokers. Customers were dismayed – and the debacle of the card cost Scott Forstall's head of Steve Jobs-Int. The boss of iOS had to leave the company.

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, and the executive committee have long known that card service plays an absolutely central role in the era of the iPhone. Almost everything we do with smartphones, tablets and laptops requires geodata – from vacation photos to directions to location services.

Good to know for motorists: In vehicles with car radio, you can use Google Maps. The change should come with iOS 12 this fall
