[4eyes] Apple’s Coming Map App

[Jonathan Ventura]

Here is a Technology Review article about the 3D maps:

Note this paragraph on the potential for AR:

"Smith says that augmented-reality apps allowing a phone or tablet to blend the virtual and real worlds are another potential use. "We can help pin down real-world imagery very accurately to solve the positioning problem," he says. However, the accuracy of cell phones' positioning systems will first have to catch up with that of C3's maps. Cell phones using GPS can typically locate themselves to within tens of meters, not tens of centimeters."
