Speaking of maps, Garmin’s journey is also incredible tunaround. Its portable GPS maps business got clapped by Google Maps/iPhone. Then its smart fitness watches had to take on Apple Watch. Did both and worth $40B:
How much do you get paid to be an urban hiker? Asking for a friend.
honesly, getting 10k steps in like this ain’t bad
Apple Maps has been absolutely god awful the last 3 months. Put in where you want to go and it will select a random location. Its awful
Apple maps totally suck compared to the features Google maps has. Apple is worse. Period.
Apple maps should integrate with Snapchat maps… would be pretty cool. It seems like $SNAP has not monetized that effectively
I have done some tough jobs but hiking with a rucksack daily I only did for fun in my teens No bike option?
Im sure some enterprising folk said they were walking but biked
Apple Maps team cookin
Apple spent a decade and billions of dollars fixing Maps after the launch disaster. Now they're turning it into an ad platform. The app that was free because it was broken is now free because your attention is worth more than a subscription.
Googles maps over Apple Maps any day. I use Google maps on my iPhone, my partner uses Apple Maps. Apple Maps has let us down numerous times. 😬
Why not just cut your losses and tell people to download Google Maps instead?
Imagine the Maps that Tesla could make with the data coming from their fleet of millions of vehicles.
nuts how many ppl still think apple maps is trash from the 2012 reputation its been better than google for like 3+ years now if youre in the us
Apple Maps sucks…. I am forever find errors on its maps for my local area, lakes mapped with names that changed over a decade ago, roads mapped that have never existed or were farm tracks that disappeared years ago. Everyone else has it right so why can’t apple get it right ?
I hated Apple Maps when it first came out. Even to this day my wife refuses to use it because she “used it before and it was terrible.” But I like it so much better than Google Maps now. The visuals and top down angle is so much better. Searching for things is still better in Google Maps though.
If ads start popping up on my maps…. I will get rid of it! I stopped watching all sports and tv back in 2010 because of commercials!
No one uses Apple products anymore. The CEO is MAGA
Apple Maps was a technological marble since the beginning, it was just very hard to get it right, and at least the pushed through it. I still remember seeing Madrid in flyover for the very first time in iOS 6, it looked like magic.
Apple Maps still can’t find my house after two years of living here. Also, I’ve never seen an ad while using Google Maps. Unless you mean icons that shows sponsors.
It still amazes me how much Apple went from driving cars in a lake to now my default map from my iPhone (in the US). Though they really need lots more work anywhere outside North America.
@bearlyai This is a great job opportunity. How do people find out more about it @Apple ?
If they only knew about $GRAB maps 😂
Why don't they use a trolley or something? How much does this thing weight?
Apple Maps went from apology-worthy disaster → billion-dollar mapping engine, now fueling $100B+ in services.
why do they always walk? why no bicycle? smoother, faster. or drones or whatever.
Seriously…. What good are adds in Apple Maps when you use it while DRIVING??
Right now, Google Maps is still way more popular than Apple Maps and it’s not close.
apple maps suck man there won't be anything like Google maps
This isn’t just a product comeback, it’s Apple rebuilding a strategic layer it once depended on, and you can see why owning the map means owning the monetization path.
wild that google's been sitting on a $15-20B goldmine with maps and apple just decided to build their own moat?
That was probably a nice gig. Apple probably paid really good money to simply walk around town with a pack.
Dude here is trying to put a positive spin on Apple putting adverts all over your maps.😂 Meanwile Google mapped the entire earth's roads, then did it again (360 cam streetview) and now a THIRD time with 3D Lidar maps. These maps will be $ licensed $ by all autonomous cars.
Apple Maps only work Good in usa and parts of europe, in LATAM really sucks!
👋 Bye, Apple Maps. Good luck to you.
