Big changes in store for Apple’s iPhone Maps app?

Cyber Monday Sale over 400  deals“It seems that Apple has big plans for the next iPhone Maps app, or so we might glean from a job posted for an iPhone Software Engineer on Apple’s website,” Nicholas Bonsack reports for Macworld.

The iPhone has revolutionized the mobile industry and has changed people’s lives and we want to continue to do so. We want to take Maps to the next level, rethink how users use Maps and change the way people find things. We want to do this in a seamless, highly interactive and enjoyable way. We’ve only just started.

Bonsack reports, “The current Maps user interface, once unique, has been heavily imitated by its competitors and the app itself is due for an overhaul. Whether this means if Apple will incorporate new features like an augmented-reality interface, built-in GPS navigation, or a new user interface isn’t known for sure, but they’re reasonable guesses, especially in light of Google’s new free Navigation software for the Motorola Droid.”
