About a decade after its launch, the service has become a viable alternative to Google's service, and the Californian company needs to look out to not fall behind. When using my iPhone, which I carry on me to have a point of comparison with an Android phone, I was very much impressed by how much I prefer Apple Maps in many circumstances. Since then, a lot has changed, and for people living in the Apple ecosystem, Apple Maps has become a viable alternative to Google Maps. Apart from laughably poor 3D satellite imagery dominated by broken bridges, glitchy buildings, and warped landscapes, the service had errors that could leave you stranded in the middle of an Australian national park. Making it more like someone in the passenger seat might say.When Apple first launched its Maps service in 2012 to much fanfare, it was quickly ridiculed and dismissed, though.
No more “turn right in 500meters”, instead where available you’ll get “turn right at the next traffic lights” or “at the next stop sign”. This includes speed zone information showing the current speed limit, and a natural language guidance. This takes somebody’s time to represent that model as accurately and as beautifully as we do”Īs well as a visually more stunning map, including details like fairways on golf courses, or even line markings on roads in the city – you’ll also get a new navigation experience. So it’s, it is not something that happens in a matter of hours. The part I can tell you is that these are all hand drawn models. I actually don’t know the amount of time, but it is all hand built. And if you’re wondering how long it takes to make such a model – I was too, so I asked David Dorn “I can’t tell you that one takes five days and another takes 30 days. But on top of all that, are 45 stunningly detailed 3D models created by hand for Apple Maps.
