Free Iphone Unlock

With the recent job post for the position of an iOS QA Location Engineer in Apple, it only tends to prove more that they are working double time on making better the location based features of their iOS devices. This built in location based feature experience revolves around the bundle applications of Google Maps. This is an aspect where Apple is eyeing a great opportunity for improvement; and hence led them to hiring more people to be part of their location team.

The said job posting states that the potential candidates should be well versed with the algorithms for GPS and other navigational systems. This suggests that the traffic database of Apple in real time would soon be in the form of a navigational solution. The job will be based in Cupertino, California where the headquarters of the company are found.

All that we can hope is that these features will also be present in iOS 5. However, we think that the chances for this are quite slim. On a larger scale, Apple is still using the images from Google Maps aside from their acquisition of various mapping companies like Placebase and Poly9. The iOS 5 include the reminders which are located based as well which is the sole location based feature on the iPhone gadget right outside the application of the Maps. There are also a lot of patent filings and other job listings posted by Apple that are yet to be applied in the future.

What else do you want to see in iOS that fall under the location based features aside from the turn by turn navigation?
