ElTenedor is a Spanish startup, from its creators came this application, a fantastic way to reserve a table in most restaurants in big cities. Little by little it grew to the more than 30.000 restaurants that today are represented between Europe and the south of the American continent. However, it was never easier to reserve a table as it is now, we ventured to say this because ElTenedor has been integrated with Apple Maps by launching an extension for the Cupertino company's navigation system. In this way, we can reserve a table directly through the navigation, with a few simple taps.
The service has started in Spain, in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Bilbao, Seville, Zaragoza, San Sebastián, Alicante and Granada. However, it is not only in national territory, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Turkey, Portugal and Brazil are the other countries that have received this extension for Apple Maps that will delight users . It will work automatically when we click on one of the restaurants that appears in Maps, if it is on the list of establishments attached to ElTenedor Claro. These types of initiatives are what have earned ElTenedor to become the main restaurant reservation applications in Spain and part of Europe.
Apple is opening its system like never before, if it already surprised us a year and a half ago with the extensions of iOS 8 for Safari, as well as the blockers of inappropriate content, the tensions of Maps are just one of the novelties that inevitably cheer developers . Those times in which users maintained complaints about the closed operating system are beginning to be left behind, since the arrival of Tim Cook the company has made a total turnaround in this regard.
In the meantime, we must admit that Apple Maps is still light years from Google Maps, Google's navigation system continues to have more content and relevant information. However, Apple's struggle to constantly improve Apple Maps is welcome.
