Apple Maps Could Become Useful As Company to Hire 70 Map Experts

Apple Maps has been one of those proprietary apps which a user couldn't delete even though it was more or less useless. However, the company seems to be finally getting its act together by opening jobs for more than 70 map tech experts in order to make the app serviceable, CNBC reported Wednesday. According to the report, the job listings -- that went live in July -- for the Apple Maps team would require skills connected to mapping elements such as geospatial information services, navigational aids and fleet management. The opening of the new positions indicates that Apple is working on a large-scale improvement of the app. The report added the new hirings would also help Apple develop two of its new technologies -- augmented reality and autonomous technology. It is imperative for the company to get its act together when it comes to navigation since it has also ventured into self-driving technology.
