Menuda has set up Nokia with its free GPS navigation service using Ovi Maps. The Finn put the rest of her competition on the ropes, which in a section as sweet as geosteering to save us the fortune of a dedicated device, was able to impose itself several months in advance. Google has followed the trail of Nokia, and with Google Maps 5.0 it is now possible to use Navigation without an Internet connection, downloading the maps and using them when we feel like it the most. And the third in contention, Apple, could also jump on the bandwagon with the next edition of theapplephone.
We say this because Apple would have started a process of selecting personnel who had knowledge of application programming and the ability to develop some type of program dedicated to maps and geosteering. Given this, not a few sites have ensured that the Cupertino plans would go through creating a dedicated and specific application for the iPhone 5 with which to add a GPS navigation system to the table of benefits of the next edition of their smartphone. that does not require data consumption.
The "Jobs at Apple" section (we'll save the little joke suggested by the pun) of Apple's North American website clearly shows how the company declares itself in need of developers who, among other things, have "extensive knowledge of Computational Geometry or Graphics Theory ”, as well as“ experience in developing navigation programs ”. White and bottled.
Currently, the different generations of the iPhone offer GPS and A-GPS navigation, depending on the model, either through paid applications (such as the well-known TomTom application) or with the free Google Maps system. However, in the latter case an Internet connection is required, as the option to download the maps is not given.
