Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, California, now officially known as Apple Park, will begin to operate from next April, at which time the transfers of personnel will continue. And with the imminent opening of this new campus, the company recently updated its mapping and navigation service Apple Maps to include a more detailed description of the facilities as well as satellite images, like the one you can see illustrating this post.
The truth is that the satellite images that have been included of Apple Park in Apple Maps are not exactly the most up-to-date. In fact, latest videos Drone footage shows the exact state of the works, however, it is still interesting insofar as it implies a further step towards the inauguration of a new headquarters that is nothing more than a reflection of the tremendous success experienced by the companyespecially during the last decade that started in 2007 with the launch of the original iPhone.
Apple Park is now also on Apple Maps
On February 22, Apple announced that its second campus will open its doors next April for employees to start moving to the new facility to work from there. More than XNUMX workers will have to move, a process that the company estimates will take about six months. Meanwhile, and throughout the summer, the last details of some small auxiliary buildings, some open spaces will be finalized and now, closer to the end of the year, the inauguration of the "Steve Jobs Theater", located in a privileged location overlooking the rest of the facilities.
As April rolls around, details continue, such as this update to Apple Maps, a service that now includes an accurate and detailed description of the new Apple Park, as well as various satellite images.
When we access Apple Maps and enter in the search "Apple Park", the company's new facilities have not yet appeared as the first of the results however, it is already one of the available options
Another aspect that we have already told you at the beginning is that satellite images included are not completely up to date And in fact, the images of the latest videos recorded with drones are more recent, but we assume that the company is in the process of updating so they will soon be renewed. An example of this situation is found in the solar panels located on the roof of the main building, which are not fully installed in the Apple images, although they are in recent drone images. In addition, in the Apple images the landscaping work is not very advanced either.
This is one of the latest videos released that shows us a much more exact reality of the current state of Apple Park:
It is also worth noting that the images of Apple Park in Apple Maps are still relatively rare but, as we said, we assume that they will increase in number as the days progress, as will be more up-to-date images. On the other hand, we should not overlook that the "Steve Jobs Theater" also appears as a location in the Apple Park location, however, it does not include too specific information.
This is how the Steve Jobs Theater appears, which is part of the new Apple Park in Cupertino
In addition to the images, Apple Park in Maps also includes detailed information and although no specific address appears, it is possible to obtain the route simply by choosing the "Directions" option.
The opening of Apple Park is scheduled for next April, however, it does not appear that the works will cease while the employees begin their transfer. As for the Steve Jobs Theater, there has been talk of an event of the new iPad that could be held there, however, seen what has been seen seems very unlikely.
If you want to take a "walk" through the new Apple Park, you can now do so through the Maps app on your Mac, iPhone or iPad.
