Posted on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015 by Jules Wang

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.And so came Apple Maps to much fanfare and much hilarity.

Can HERE Maps compete with the likes of Google?

Posted on October 30, 2014 by Taylor Martin

HERE Maps has sort of been the salvation for navigation for Windows Phone users, especially offline navigation. The praises of this feature are sang across the internet almost any time the service is mentioned. Many prefer Nokia’s take on mapping over the baked-in Bing Maps on Microsoft’s mobile platform and understandably so.

New imagery found lurking in the Maps app (in the iOS 8 beta 1) shows that Apple is likely working on implementing a feature remembering where you parked your car.While the feature isn’t yet official, the new icons look to lend immense credence to the possibility that it is on its way. As noted by sources of 9to5Mac, the full rollout of this feature may see only devices equipped with Apple’s M7 motion coprocessor supported ...

iOS 7.0.3 In The Car hidden features shown on video

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Jaime Rivera

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. Now one thing that’s interesting is that these features already exist on the current iOS 7.0.3, which is odd since developers already have access to iOS 7.1 beta. In the video bellow you’ll notice that most, if not all of the ...
