Apple’s mapping on foot
If you see someone out and about with a backpack crammed with sensors and cameras do not be too alarmed - Apple is heading out on foot to fill in the gaps in its Maps service.
The data-gathering project began across the UK - including Greater Manchester - this week, and is intended to improve Apple Maps’ 2D detail, as well as capture better images for its street-level Look Around feature. The system will also allow Apple to map spaces like parks and squares where vehicle access is forbidden.
