It is not news that Apple intends to develop the functionality of the iOS Maps application, especially since it is one of the simplest native navigation applications available. Apple has posted several announcements for the employment of a developer of navigation applications and a recent one job offer published by Apple comes to reinforce the idea of expanding the functionality of the application. Many people expect Apple to implement a turn-by-turn navigation system in iOS 5 mainly because Google already offers something like this natively in Android.
Come work for the team that revolutionized the mobile technology industry as it continues to define what computing looks like in a post-PC era. The Maps team is looking for a proactive and hardworking software engineer to join our team. Along with excellent skills in object-oriented software design and programming, the successful candidate will have real-world experience developing sophisticated user interfaces. Excellent communication skills are also a must, as you will be collaborating closely with Apple's peerless human interface team to add new and innovative features.
The job offer from Apple is addressed to those interested in working on a Maps application with innovative functions and a sophisticated UI, so in the near future we will see "a new face" of the Maps application. Now the Maps application in iOS uses the Google Maps system, but it would be much better if Apple used its own mapping system with pre-installed maps in iOS. Until another iOS 5 is announced to be very interesting, it remains to be seen if it will be like that or not.
