maps – Dr. Ray Pastore's Instructional Technology Blog https://raypastore.com/wordpress Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:58:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.15 166124113 iOS 6: Apple Maps https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2012/09/ios-6-apple-maps/ https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2012/09/ios-6-apple-maps/#respond Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:58:39 +0000 https://raypastore.com/wordpress/?p=1809 Looks like apple maps is off to a rocky start as people are starting to use it. Users are reporting getting lost and incorrect directions. Here is a link with some examples:

Remember that the rumor is that Apple is dropping Google Maps for their own version at WWDC on June 11th (https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/). It is well known that Apple has be purchasing GPS/Maps companies over the last few years to eventually break away from Google Maps. For those who do not know, Google Maps on Apple devices is not the full version, it does not have text to voice directions and act as a true GPS whereas on Android devices it does and it is free. So it is no surprise that Apple wants their own version.

So I guess we will find out in a few hours what Google has up their sleeve:

Apparently the next version of iOS will not have Google Maps. But do not worry, it will have its own version of maps. Apple has been slowly acquiring map/gps companies throughout the years for this rollout. They obviously do not like to rely on Google for their map feature and they want text to speech gps directions like Android has. So only time will tell if Apple maps compare to Google maps.
