Apple Maps on a mission to take you places more accurately than ever

Over two years have passed, since the 2012 Apple Maps blunder that lead to the firing of a manager assigned to Apple Maps project, and a public apology issued by Tim Cook.

The company has since learned a great deal from its mistakes and has put much focus into improving Apple Maps in every possible way, starting from improving maps data at an exponential rate, and with a much higher frequency, as reported by 9to6Mac.

In an effort to improve Apple Maps public transit information, as well as indoor navigation, Apple acquired a number of apps, such as HopStock, Embark for public transportation, and indoor navigation apps WiFiSLAM, SpotSetter and BroadMap.

One of the best features iOS users can expect this fall is the inclusion of public transportation schedules and routes, enabling users to rely on Apple Maps for trains, buses and subway schedules, as the company continues to improve and expand its services.

Users have reported an improvement in Apple Maps, especially this year, as the “Report a problem” option on Apple Maps appears to be far more responsive, with map corrections occurring at a faster pace. Accroding to 9to5Mac, Apple Maps is now updating with new user-submitted information on a daily basis, at midnight Pacific Standard Time, and adding new POI (Points of Interest), on a weekly basis.
