Apple Maps Begins Surveying Poland for 'Look Around'

by

Apple Maps has begun surveying Poland for its "Look Around" feature, which offers users a 360-degree immersive panoramic look of a city or location.

Apple maintains an updated list of countries, cities, and territories of where it is conducting ground surveys for Look Around. That list was recently updated with the addition of Poland. Additionally, a photo shared on Facebook shows an ‌Apple Maps‌ image collection vehicle in Poland. Apple says that the "vehicle ground-based research" of Poland will continue until August of this year.

Last month Apple began surveying Hong Kong for Apple Maps as it contuines its ambition to widen the availability of ‌Apple Maps‌ features to more locations. A full list of where ‌Apple Maps‌ is currently surveying can be found on Apple's website.

Anyone got experience of how long it has taken from survey to actually being available?
Could be years. My parents saw an Apple Maps vehicle by their house last summer even though they live in a smaller village. The feature is still not available here in The Netherlands, yet Apple seems to be covering the whole country already. Meaning they could very well be waiting until they get every part of the country mapped before release.

So much duplication of effort going on. Hopefully one day, all the major map providers will have a data sharing agreement.
An awful lot of me agrees. But multi-sourcing of data has huge advantages when it comes to verification.

In the past, the specific highly detailed street map which included my house had the house numbers wrong. These maps were surveyed by the Ordnance Survey who served as the source for the majority of UK maps. Thus, pretty much every map which was sufficiently detailed would carry the same mistake.

I'd like to think that a combination of data sources - OpenStreetMap being one example for today - would far more likely raise a clash warning and see someone check. (Were I in the same position today, I'd flag the issue, but in those days, writing a physical letter seemed over the top for a small error.)

So, yes to data sharing but not if it results single sourcing.

It’s early enough that it’s probably a good thing that we have multiple sources for this imagery, so if one of them gets a particular location wrong, you can check the other.
