2 years ago Apple began changing Google Maps with its own ill-received Apple Maps.
It's been the rough ride, but Apple's nav offering now covers many of the
company's devices as well as services.
Today, you can add another to the list
as Cupertino begins to implement Apple Roadmaps into its Find My apple iphone
web app.
Find The iPhone lets users determine their iPhones on a chart using
an iPad or some other device, including web browsers (at iCloud. com) on desktop
computer and laptop computers.
The iOS app already used Apple company Maps,
and now, at least within the iCloud beta site as well as for some users, the web
application does as well.
A not-so-clean break
Apple still utilizes
Google Maps for its website's local store listings, though not much
otherwise.
Apple no doubt intended to eliminate Google Maps from its
solutions and devices all together, but the many problems that possess plagued
its offering possess slowed that process.
Chances are, though, Apple Maps
offers improved, and it's about time Apple company started putting more belief
in its own service through implementing it everywhere feasible.
This
development may also match to Apple's Maps team's September 2013 job real estate
seeking developers to "design, develop and maintain complex front-end code for a
new key project" including "an superior web platform. "
Many thanks in part
to that job real estate it's been speculated that Apple company plans to launch
the standalone Apple Maps internet app much like Google's roadmaps. google. com,
but up to now no real evidence of which has come to light.
Meanwhile we've
requested Apple to confirm that it's changing Google Maps with Apple Roadmaps in
Find My apple iphone across the board, and we'll up-date this story if we get
any information.
