Apple: Some Maps fixes out already, more this year



Apple offered some minor details on improvements it has made, and still has in the pipeline for its mobile maps software.


"We've made a number of improvements to Maps," Apple CEO Tim Cook told Wall Street analysts during the company's first quarter earnings call this afternoon. Some of those include improved satellite and flyover imagery as well as local information for businesses, he said.


Cook said that people are using Maps "significantly" more than they were before
iOS 6, which added Apple's controversial mapping software and replaced Google. Nonetheless, there's room for improvement, Cook added, saying "we'll keep on working on this" and that the company planned to "roll out more improvements during the rest of the year."


Cook publicly apologized about the software last September, roughly a week after it was released to consumers, saying "we are extremely sorry for the frustration" it caused. Some of those frustrations include missing or inaccurate locations, low quality satellite imagery in densely populated areas, and cosmetic issues with its 3D flyover feature.
