As you already know very well, Apple Maps it turned out to be one of the company's biggest semi-failures Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the company actively trying to solve the problems that generated criticism from an extremely large number of users. Tim Cook he promised in 2012 that his company would solve all the problems Apple Maps, and a recent patent describes us one of the methods that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), intends to use them to do so. In this patent, the American company describes a system that allows a user to dynamically adjust the content of an electronic map, having the possibility to activate various modes that display layers of information on the screen.
An interactive capability enables a user to dynamically adjust the content of an electronic map. Different modes can be chosen to emphasize features relevant to a particular interest, eg commuting, tourism, weather, etc. Combinations of modes can be selected to create a customized map. When a search is conducted, the chosen mode functions as a filter for the retrieved results. The map responds to user input directed to a given feature, to display information relevant to that feature. Tapping or clicking on a highway displays the locations of services along the highway, Touching two points on the map causes available routes between them to be computed and displayed to the user, along with relevant data for each route. Geospatial applications can be integrated with the map to provide information pertaining to the area displayed on the map, and to refine search results to those that are relevant to the area.
Specifically, Apple describes a system that allows the display of detailed maps for vehicle transportation routes, public transportation routes, pedestrian transportation routes, weather information, and more. In practice, users have the opportunity to customize their maps with the information they are directly interested in, and in the case of searches, they could directly control the filters used for searches. Moreover, choosing some routes can display information about points of interest, and touching two points of interest can automatically generate a route to direct you to them, with personalized data sets being displayed for each route chosen.
In short, Apple tries to provide us with more relevant information for us and gives us the opportunity to choose exactly what we want to see in the application.
