Jeez!!! Something Better Than Google Map? I'm Like, "Wow!!!"

Hyper-real: 3D mapping services used by C3 Technologies (as purchased by Apple) will form the main part of the software giant's new mapping service

So far, Google Maps (for phones) and, or Google Earth (still same as Google Maps but for PC's and laptops) has been rated the best mapping device/app. I can attest to that because I've benefitted immensely from its services especially when I find myself in strange locations. All I need do is simply switch on my Google Maps from my device and it'd connect to the satellite and the rest becomes history. With it, I need not seek directions from passers by. Infact, it's just perfect.

But very recently, the U.S. technology giants are racing to produce aerial maps so detailed they can show up objects just four inches wide.
Apple and Google (it's still hazy if they're on collaboration or running independently. But from current events, it seems they're operating independently) have set rolling, arrangements to establishing a better mapping experience. While Google admits it has already sent planes over cities, Apple on the other hand has acquired a firm using spy-in-the-sky technology that has been tested on at least 20 locations, including London.
Apple’s military-grade cameras are understood to be so powerful they could potentially see into homes through skylights and windows. The technology is similar to that used by intelligence agencies in identifying terrorist targets in Afghanistan. Google will use its spy planes to help create 3D maps with much more detail than its satellite-derived Google Earth images.

All powerful: Apple's newly-acquired technology uses military-grade camera equipment to produce realistic 3D maps of big cities and residential streets.

Apple hopes, it's rumoured mapping service for the iPhone and iPad will overtake the hugely popular Google Maps.

It hasn't however been reported when it'll be made available for consumers' use, but they're anticipated to be through towards end of the year.
