Apple certainly cared where its users got their location apps when it launched Apple Maps back in 2012. With geological renderings of wonder, mislabeled roads and points of interest and, for the longest time, a lack of basic transit directions, it’s a wonder how Apple Maps came to be chosen over Google Maps for iOS users.

That’s what Apple is reporting. Specifically, its app handles 5 billion [...]

Apple Maps has transit directions in two more cities and eastern Amtrak routes

Third-party providers have app after app after app for consumers to tap into to know when their bus, train, trolley, ferry, gondola and/or teleporter in thousands of cities across ten continents and a couple of galaxies on — and this is more important than sarcasm — almost all major mobile operating platforms. Native apps, too.

Apple Maps vs. Google Maps (Video)

Nearly three years ago, Apple released its Maps app. Prior to September of 2012, Google Maps was shipped on every iPhone. But with Google beginning to amp up its own mobile platform efforts at the time, it was clear time that a break had to happen between the two tech behemoths. No competition has its players hold their hands along the way.

Since then, it’s had time to make back its ground and improve [...]

iOS 7.0.3 In The Car hidden features shown on video

We’ve heard the rumors of Apple bringing a default “In The Car” feature for iOS 7.1, which should be released in the next couple of weeks. This feature is part of Apple’s Map features, which are still debatably bad when compared to Google Maps, but which Apple seems to plan to differentiate with enhanced navigation features.
