Why did Google got kicked off Apple?
Google map making process
Google: allows search by type of transport and
routes
Apple: relies on third party applications, takes you out the maps
Google: provides thorough directions
iPhone: misses information that Google delivers
Apple: fails with public transport
Apple maps: no direction editing
Apple maps: inexplicable bugs
Google maps: uses Street View
Apple Maps: uses 3D flyover, ineffective for
navigating purposes
Apple maps: “melting architecture” in 3D flyover
Apple maps: Apple simply doesn’t have the data
set to accurately plot the world
What’s missing in Apple maps:
Transit
Traffic
Street View
Future of Apple maps: cloud based,
inconvenient for schedules
Future of Google maps: “…provide you with the best experience that you care about…”
