The beta versions of the different Apple operating systems serve to make everything more stable, secure and to add new features. Well it seems that the new iOS 14.5 beta version adds changes to Maps app. In this case from TechCrunch They show us some details of these news and basically it is about news in the information that Maps offers.
All the news are good and in this case it is about add information on fixed radars, accidents that occur on the road where we have the route marked and traffic jams. Regarding traffic jams or retentions, we already have something similar right now in the app when it shows the traffic density with several lines, but it will also be responsible for the privacy of the user and will allow to adjust the tracking, it seems that it will improve considerably ...
Without a doubt they are getting the batteries with the Maps application and it is that since their arrival little by little it was renewed and improved to become a good alternative to Google Maps or even Waze, but the latter surpasses it for several reasons (in addition to not having regard to user privacy) including a kind of social network between drivers, this is not something with which it will compete Apple, although it is true that it can greatly improve the current app with more information and details.
A few years ago I would not even consider using Maps to navigate with my iPhone or to find an address on my Mac. Today it is one of the applications that I use the most for these functions and without a doubt if they continue to improve more I will use it, as do many users are giving a vote of confidence to the native Apple app. Do you use Maps?
I prefer 100% the native App to the app, but it happens for example here in Uruguay, looking for a site is very difficult, many times you do not know the areas or it is simply almost zero to find places. Everything is in Google Maps! I think Apple should be more global and encourage more use in other countries.
