When we refer to maps, we cannot help but bring Google into the discussion, which, in our opinion and that of many, currently offers the most complex maps through Google Maps. Large coverage, updated mapping quite ok, markings with places of interest and even public transport lines in the big cities.
Apple has had its own application / similar service for many years, but unfortunately with a much smaller coverage and with a mapping that offers few details.
But there is also good news. During this day, Apple launched Apple Maps in a completely redesigned form, which offers a much better experience to users in the United States.
In essence, the new design of Apple Maps has been launched since last month, but only today Apple made the official announcement and stated that finally the new interface is 100% complete.
Users in Europe will still have to wait until this major upgrade, but Apple promises that it will be the next priority in the development of Apple Maps.
In addition to the added details and the new design, some new features such as "Look Around" are added to Apple Maps. A function that allows 3D visualization at street level with high-resolution and high-quality images. Feature currently only available for New York City, San Francisco Bay, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston and Oahu.
Apple also maintains its standards regarding user privacy and promises that no authentication is required to use the Apple Maps service. Also, the application will not interact in any way with the Apple ID and will not retain a history of the locations where the user has been.
