Apple using drones to make Apple Maps better than ever

Apple is planning on using drones to enhance their Apple Maps application. This new move will put Apple Inc in very good position considering that the other competitors Google and Facebook are actually moving fast.

A new report from Bloomberg, Apple is said to be using the aerial robots as well as some indoor navigation tech to improve its app to better compete with Google.

Like Google and Microsoft's Bing, Apple currently uses cars equipped with cameras and sensors to travel and record mapping data. By switching to drones Apple could conceivably record this data faster and thus more quickly update and improve Maps.

Apple is said to want to use the drones to examine street signs, monitor road changes as well as see if areas are under construction, according to the report. That data collected would then be sent over to Apple's Maps team who will put it into the app to give users the most up-to-date information about the area they were in.
