Issue #5! brought to you by Michal Naka and Adam Feldman. Here’s what happened last week… Big News Apple is rebuilding its map stack from the ground up, collecting all of its own data. The end goal is for Apple to not have to rely on 3rd parties for any of its basemap, business, access points, LIDAR, imagery, POI, traffic, or road network data. This is a big strategic shift for the industry and it also shows just how hard it is to build a high quality, constantly updating set of map data that first and third party applications can rely on. |
