Without it serving as precedent, Spain and Portugal They are at the forefront of being one of the first countries to have updated Apple Maps cartography, ahead of many other countries such as Germany or France. Take Now.
A clever Spanish user has published that the updated maps of the Iberian Peninsula are already in testing phase, and some users can already access the new maps.
Apple user jordi guillamet, has published on its website data regarding the latest cartography renewals by Apple, where you can see how the maps of Spain and Portugal have already entered the testing phase, and some users can already enjoy said updated cartographic data.
It is certainly great news, and somewhat surprising. Apple has been renewing the cartography of certain areas of the planet for some time, but as one can imagine, it is an arduous task, both when it comes to capturing the data, as well as its subsequent processing to be used in the application. Maps for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
The renewed maps of Spain and Portugal are already operational in beta.
The updated Maps app provides more detailed views of roads, buildings, parks, airports, shopping centers, and more, along with faster and more accurate navigation. Updated maps began to roll out in the United States at the end of 2018, followed by the United Kingdom e Ireland in October 2020 and Canada in december 2020.
So it is still a surprise that following countries to have their maps updated are Spain and Portugal. If there are already a small number of users who can enjoy such updated data, it will not take long for the rest of users to see the redesigned maps.
The truth is that I just tried Maps, and I have not found any change. Where I live, for example, the 2D map is much more current than the 3D one, which is already a few years old. So we have to wait.
