Apple Maps was initially launched in 2012 and it automatically became the default map app on iPhones globally. And while its first incarnation was not really embraced and well received by the public, Apple Maps has been going steady and has been enhancing its development to get it perfectly back on track.
Now, the all-new Maps has a 3D experience with a considerable amount of visual details, improved accuracy, and many more detailed qualities. Apple takes a 3D approach with the map that starts in the globe view and extends to city streets and far beyond.
Apple Maps
You can successfully excel in navigating the suburban roads of your province, city, or town, and travel it far across countries. Or maybe you taking a cross-country trek along Route 66 or hiking in the trails leading to various locations, it’s reflected throughout and you never have to miss your way. As explained by Apple Company Spokespersons, all the buildings, accurate road styles, and climate-appropriate trees are placed on top of the map, making it super easy to access the locations you want to.
So you may ask, what’s all the hype about concerning Apple Maps? Well, the answer is really about the details. When navigating somewhere on an iPhone, you’ll notice that you’ll see clearer details about lanes in a road. The lanes are all visualized clearly and illustrated accurately with road markings and intersections showing crosswalks. It helps not only with accessibility, since you will already know those elements are there, but they also extend far to knowing what lane you need and how to get there properly. Even more impressive, you will see proper elevation when navigating complex highways that have ground-level roads with overpasses that intersect.
