Apple Maps still trying hard

For the two of you actually using Apple Maps you will be tickled to know they have updated it.



The results can be seen in an update to the app this week in Japan, but Apple has been steadily releasing updates for countries and cities from around the world according to TheLoop.

The updates have been quite significant for the areas involved. For instance, the update in Japan brought toll road notifications and improved pronunciation of roads during turn-by-turn navigation; updated icons and labels for freeways, transit stations, subway lines and other categories like fire stations, hospitals and post offices; and added 3D buildings including Tokyo Station, Japan Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Tower.

The next update is rumored to be half as good as Google Maps.
