Apple’s
\nredesigned Maps app has arrived. From a report: The company on Thursday said its revamped app is now available for US users and will arrive in Europe “in the coming months.” Apple Maps’ redesign makes navigation faster and more accurate and gives users “comprehensive views of roads, buildings, parks, airports, malls and more.” Apple rebuilt its mapping service from the ground up by outfitting hundreds of planes and cars with custom sensors and lidar, which then covered over 4 million miles. It hopes the latest iteration of its Apple Maps software will be enough to woo users away from Google Maps, Waze and other rivals. <\/p>\n
“We set out to create the best and most private maps app on the planet that is reflective of how people explore the world today,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of internet software and services, said in a press release. “It is an effort we are deeply invested in and required that we rebuild the map from the ground up to reimagine how Maps enhances people’s lives — from navigating to work or school or planning an important vacation — all with privacy at its core.” Along with the new Maps apps, real-time transit will be available in Miami starting Friday, in time for the upcoming Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
