Default Apple Wants To Help Drivers With Better Navigation

this would be great idea, final blow to Andriod...
"use anonymous data sourced from other motorists running iOS 6 to determine traffic patterns." i was thinking about this for more accurate traffic info on local roads...

Great idea. Wonder if it's patentable though. I imagine it isn't that hard for Google to come up with a similar feature in a short time.

EDIT: Never mind. I Googled the news report and it says Apple actually works with all the major car makers to add a dedicated button to work only with iOS. If that's the case it'll be much tougher for Android to imitate.

Waze on Android currently uses data from other Waze users to notify users of traffic conditions, road hazards, traffic cops(?!), etc.

^^^^ This. After all the apple map problems. No thanks. Apple learned the hard way that it's not possible to build a map app overnight. I'll take Google maps built into my car. That with Tesla's ridiculously huge touch screen!

Agreed. I gave up on apple all together. My wife has an iphone 6S and the apple maps always seem to tell you turns just a little too late. Maybe I'm just used to OEM navi and google maps.
