Apple gave a new direction to mapping data collection with Surveyor app, now Apple Maps will be even more accurate
New Delhi: Apple has recently introduced a new app “Surveyor”, which aims to further improve the accuracy and details of Apple Maps. This app is designed to collect real-world mapping data, so that Apple Maps can now be more precise and updated. This step can prove to be an important milestone towards making Apple’s mapping system more capable and reliable.
Purpose and functioning of Surveyor app
The Surveyor app is not publicly available like other consumer apps, but it is specially designed for partner companies that take responsibility for mapping assignments. When users download the Surveyor app, they can see an option “Open Partner App”, which redirects them to another app Premise. Premise is a third-party platform that rewards users for completing tasks such as surveys, local updates (such as construction works), and photography of important places.
Integration with Premise App
The Surveyor app’s integration with Premise marks a strong collaboration for continuous updates of Apple Maps. Through this, users can report small but important changes, such as road signs, traffic signals, and roadside details, which are immediately sent to Apple. Thus, Apple Maps information is always available with freshness and accuracy, ensuring a great navigation experience for users.
Crowdsourced Data Collection
The crowdsourced data collection strategy adopted by Apple makes the mapping process even more accurate and relevant. The data collected by the Surveyor app helps Apple keep its mapping information up-to-date and accurate. Through this, information about roads, infrastructure and other important places is always updated, giving users accurate and real-time navigation assistance.
AI-Driven Real-Time Map Enhancements
Apple plans to implement AI-driven, real-time map enhancements. Through the Surveyor app, new information and updates will be implemented in Apple Maps all the time, making it even more accurate and useful. This will give users even better and safer guidance during the journey, which will make any journey easier and hassle-free.
An important step towards making Apple Maps more accurate
The Surveyor app is another big step towards improving Apple Maps. Through this, Apple has promised to take the accuracy and updates of maps to a new level. Through this app, Apple is strengthening its mapping data collection, which will enable it to compete with companies like Google Maps and Waze. Along with this, Apple has found a way to properly use the data collected from users, which can make it more personal and reliable.
