iOS 8 is all about developing Apple maps

One of the biggest failure of Apple phones is Apple maps. Seriously they were a disaster. So Apple wants to improve it at its best in its next version iOS 8. Sources told 9to5Mac that Ios 8 will feature lots of   “under-the-hood changes.” Including an overhaul to the maps application. Using tha data from recently acquired startups like broadmap, embark and hopstop, Apple will reportedly highlight points of interest like airports, train stations, and freeways. And the company will finally bring back public transit directions.

This is really a great news. It’s actually a little hard to believe that Apple didn’t have public transit directions for so long. It’s actually a little hard to believe that Apple didn’t have public transit directions for so long. It’s so hard to believe that when you see 9to5Mac’s mock ups of what it might look like, you’ll have a hard time believing those features weren’t already there.

Basically, transit will get a new tab alongside driving and waling directions. Patents suggest that Apple might also enhance maps further by adding an augmented reality option which sounds neat. But seriously, let’s just make sure Apple can tell whether you’re in New York city versus not Adelaide, Australia before we get too fancy.
