The company itself already announced that it was in the process of improving its Maps app Some time ago and although today it is fully functional, the Cupertino company continues to invest efforts and resources to improve the navigation experience on its maps.
In this case, several people hired by Apple have been seen loaded with that huge strange backpack full of sensors and cameras through the streets of California, specifically in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Alameda County, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Mateo.
In this case they focus on California
It seems that the steps to follow are well marked but they are not in a hurry in expansion either. And it is that for now of these employees loaded with these portable LIDAR equipment have only been seen in California, so we imagine that Apple is focusing there to get everything ready and then cover other places.
The good thing about Apple Maps is that it has a lot of room for improvement today, so we are sure that from the company itself they want to continue advancing with their maps and catch up with other similar applications such as the one most used by most : Google Maps. Logically, it lacks a lot to be at the same level as Google maps in some aspects, but in many others we dare to say that Apple's maps surpass it and that if they continue with this progression they could be a tough rival if they do not. It is at this point. In this case, with the "mapping" on foot that these Apple employees are doing It will be much improved in the guided tours, places of interest, shops and other guided options.
