Due to a job posting, apple may have given away its plans to revamp its location services on iOS. While iOS is known for its deep integration of location services they’re starting to look a bit outdated compared to the competition.
So what is to come with the revamp, Augmented reality or maybe even more advertisements? One things for sure, we won’t see any new location service features in iOS 5.
Job Posting States:
“You will join a dynamic team responsible for qualifying the latest iOS products, working on exciting new features for iOS location services,” the listing reads. “The successful candidate will complete both documented and adhoc testing to ensure high quality releases.”
Specifically, a preferred candidate will have experience with GPS as well as “navigation algorithms,” suggesting that Apple could be working on a turn-by-turn navigation service similar t the free Google Maps Navigation.”
